Bidens committed no wrongdoing in Ukraine — ‘despite Giuliani’s pleas’: prosecutor
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has admitted that former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden were not involved in any wrongdoing in Ukraine.
According to Bloomberg News, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer alleged that the Bidens had a conflict of interest while encouraging Ukrainian politicians to crack down on corruption.
just in from Kiev:
*UKRAINE PROSECUTOR SAYS NO EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING BY BIDENS
*HUNTER BIDEN, BURISMA NOT TARGETS, DESPITE GIULIANI’S PLEAS
— Justin Sink (@justinsink) May 16, 2019
“Giuliani said that Biden could have been trying to help his son’s business dealings and that Ukraine needs to investigate,” Bloomberg reported.
But as of Thursday, prosecutors revealed there were no concerns of unethical behavior.
Just days ago, a Ukrainian lawmaker alleged that the top prosecutor was manufacturing “a conspiracy” about the Biden family. Lawmaker Serhiy Leshchenko said that he was given parts of a letter written by a prosecutor who wanted to curry favor with President Donald Trump’s administration.
“The letter was sent by the prosecutor through unofficial channels to President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the lawmaker told journalists on Monday in Kiev as he distributed copies of two pages,” Bloomberg reported.

Trump is ‘a bottomless pit of emotional need’ with a ‘desperate’ desire for friends: NYT’s Charles Blow
New York Times editorial writer Charles Blow called out the president in his Sunday editorial for always associating the country with himself.
The byproduct of narcissism is that everything surrounds the narcissist. Such is the case with President Donald Trump's latest series of tweets talking about "My Stock Market" and quoting a fan referring to him as the second coming of Christ.

‘Disconnected from reality’: NY Times editor ridicules Trump for being a ‘farce’ of a president
New York Times editorial board member, Michelle Cottle, released a scathing op-ed highlighting the president's tendency to give oxygen to his adversaries that no one else would be paying attention to otherwise.
In a piece relating the White House to a "three-ring" circus, Cottle called the president a "farce" for his new war with Anthony Scaramucci.
As the president tweeted, no one had heard of Scaramucci until Trump hired him and former chief-of-staff John Kelly fired him after only 11 days.
President Donald Trump has an early morning meeting Monday with Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi. He also has a full day of meeting with the G-7, but that wasn't his focus in the early morning hours.
"My Stock Market gains must be judged from the day after the Election (sic), November 9, 2016, where the Market went up big after the win, and because of the win. Had my opponent won, CRASH!" Trump tweeted Sunday night in the U.S., which was nearly 2 a.m. in France where the president is staying during the G-7 summit.
