Washington (CNN) A federal judge Wednesday gave the State Department 30 days to release Ukraine-related records, including communications between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. Cooper said that he could not think of a third party exemption that would prevent the release of correspondence between Giuliani and top State Department officials regarding Ukraine. "The judge zeroed in on communications with Rudy Giuliani to be most subject to public disclosure. Because he doesn't work for the government," American Oversight Executive Director Austin Evers told reporters after the hearing. The lawsuit also sought the release of records related to the recall of US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
