US Scrutinizing Information Ahead of 2020 Election, Including From Giuliani

Reuters

   U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Monday confirmed that the Justice
   Department has received information from President Donald Trump's
   personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani ahead of the November election, but that
   anything originating from Ukraine should not be taken "at face value."

   Barr spoke at a news conference a day after Senate Judiciary Committee
   Chairman Lindsey Graham said on the CBS News program "Face the Nation"
   that the department had created a process so Giuliani could provide
   information and the department would see if it could be verified.

   "We have to be very careful with respect to any information coming from
   the Ukraine," Barr said. "There are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine.
   There are a lot of cross-currents, and we can't take anything we
   receive from the Ukraine at face value."

   Last week, the Senate acquitted Republican Trump largely along party
   lines on impeachment charges that he had abused his power by asking
   Ukraine to investigate a political rival, former Vice President Joe
   Biden, and his son Hunter Biden, who had served on the board of a
   Ukrainian energy company.
