Trump’s allies have suggested that a president concerned about corruption would be irresponsible to ignore the allegations of wrongdoing about Biden. “I don’t care about Biden’s campaign, but I do care about corruption,” he told reporters outside the White House in October. Texts between the two men also show they discussed a clear deal: In exchange for making the damaging statements about Biden, Lutsenko was seeking the ouster of the then-U.S. “Your country owes it to us and to your country to find out what really happened,” Giuliani said he told Yermak during the Madrid meeting. Four days later, Lutsenko told Parnas that work on the case against the owner of the gas company was proceeding successfully and evidence of the money transfers of “B” had been obtained.
