Washington • President Donald Trump repeatedly pressed his Ukrainian counterpart in a call to talk with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who had been urging the government in Kyiv for months to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his family, according to people briefed on the call.
Trump’s desire for a Ukrainian investigation of Biden, a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, is part of the secret whistleblower complaint that is said to be about Trump and at least in part about his dealings with Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter.
