Trump lawyer’s men nabbedBy ASSOCIATED PRESShome/News/World/Trump lawyer’s men nabbedWASHINGTON, D.C.: Two Florida businessmen tied to US President Donald Trump’s lawyer and the Ukraine impeachment investigation were charged Thursday (Friday in Manila) with federal campaign finance violations. The men had key roles in Giuliani’s efforts to launch a Ukrainian corruption investigation against Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden and his son Hunter. While they do not suggest wrongdoing by the president, they raise additional questions about how those close to Trump and Giuliani sought to use their influence. Giuliani said he couldn’t comment and that he didn’t represent the men in campaign finance matters. The congressman wasn’t identified in court papers, but the donations match campaign finance reports for former Rep. Pete Sessions, a Texas Republican who lost his reelection bid in November.
