鲁迪·朱利安尼在周三指责众议院共和党人的律师在对唐纳德·特朗普总统正在进行的弹劾调查中，声称该律师在他在乌克兰的工作中“拾起民主党的谎言”。

朱利安尼在众议院美国驻欧盟大使戈登·桑德兰的公开证词中发推说:“共和党律师不做他自己的研究和准备，而是拿起民主党的谎言，可耻。”。

这位前纽约市长补充道:“请允许我告诉他:我在乌克兰没有经济利益，没有！我将感谢他的道歉。”

特朗普的私人律师朱利安尼是乌克兰争议的核心人物，也是众议院情报委员会周三弹劾听证会的核心人物。他公开表示，他努力寻求特朗普政治对手的破坏性信息，并声称国务院官员知道他在做什么。

桑德兰在证词开始时表示，他和其他官员被迫按照特朗普的“明确指示”与朱利安尼一起参与乌克兰议程

“我们不想和朱利安尼先生合作。简而言之，我们玩牌了，”桑德拉告诉立法者。

大使后来补充道:“朱利安尼先生的要求是安排乌克兰总统沃洛德梅尔·泽伦斯基访问白宫的交换条件”。“朱利安尼要求乌克兰发表公开声明，宣布对2016年选举/民主党全国委员会服务器和布里斯马的调查，”他补充说，他指的是乌克兰能源公司，该公司董事会曾包括乔拜登的儿子亨特。

朱利安尼在周三的一系列推文中抨击了桑德拉和共和党律师史蒂夫·卡斯特。

“桑德拉是基于极少的接触进行推测的。我从未见过他，也很少和他通话，主要是和沃尔克。沃尔克作证说，我回答了他们的问题，并将他们描述为我的意见，而不是要求。即没有交换条件！”朱利安尼写道。(库尔特·沃尔克是前乌克兰特使。)

听证会上，共和党人似乎试图将朱利安尼在乌克兰问题上的行为与特朗普划清界限。在一行提问中，卡斯特向桑德拉询问朱利安尼在乌克兰的个人“商业利益”。卡斯特还提到了朱利安尼的两名同伙，列夫·帕纳斯(Lev Parnas)和伊戈尔·弗鲁曼(Igor Fruman)，他们最近被指控非法向美国政治候选人输送外国资金。

桑德拉告诉众议院委员会，“如果我知道朱利安尼先生的所有交易或他与现在被刑事起诉的个人的联系，我不会默许他的参与。”。

据报道，朱利安尼也正在接受纽约南区联邦检察官的调查。根据a报告发布者这 纽约时报上个月，联邦检察官正在调查他与乌克兰的关系是否违反了联邦游说法。

鲁迪·朱利安尼9月24日在纽约联合国总部外游行时对伊朗裔美国人社区组织发表讲话。朱利安尼是众议院民主党对唐纳德·特朗普总统进行弹劾调查的核心人物。

RUDY GIULIANI SLAMS GOP COUNSEL IN TRUMP IMPEACHMENT HEARING FOR 'PICKING UP DEMOCRAT LIES' ABOUT HIS WORK IN UKRAINE

Rudy Giuliani railed on Wednesday against the counsel representing House Republicans during the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, claiming that the attorney is "picking up Democrat lies" about his work in Ukraine.

"Republican lawyer doesn't do his own research and preparation, and is instead picking up Democrat lies, shame," Giuliani tweeted during the public testimony of U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland in the House.

The former New York City mayor added: "Allow me to inform him: I have NO financial interests in Ukraine, NONE! I would appreciate his apology."

Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, is a central figure in the Ukraine controversy and was at the heart of Wednesday's impeachment hearing by the House Intelligence Committee. He has been open about his efforts to seek damaging information on Trump's political rivals and has asserted that State Department officials were aware of what he was doing.

Sondland began his testimony by stating that he and other officials were forced to work with Giuliani on the Ukraine agenda at Trump's "express direction."

"We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani. Simply put, we played the hand we were dealt," Sondland told lawmakers.

The ambassador later added: "Mr. Giuliani's requests were a quid pro quo for arranging a White House visit" for Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "Mr. Giuliani demanded that Ukraine make a public statement announcing investigations of the 2016 election/DNC server and Burisma," he added, referring to the Ukrainian energy company whose board once included Joe Biden's son Hunter.

Giuliani lashed out at both Sondland and the GOP counsel, Steve Castor, in a series of tweets on Wednesday.

"Sondland is speculating based on VERY little contact. I never met him and had very few calls with him, mostly with Volker. Volker testified I answered their questions and described them as my opinions, NOT demands. I.E., no quid pro quo!" Giuliani wrote. (Kurt Volker is a former special envoy to Ukraine.)

During the hearing, Republicans appeared to try to distance Giuliani's conduct regarding Ukraine from Trump. In one line of questioning, Castor pressed Sondland about Giuliani's personal "business interests" in Ukraine. Castor also mentioned two Giuliani associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who were recently indicted on charges that they illegally funneled foreign money to U.S. political candidates.

"If I had known of all of Mr. Giuliani's dealings or of his associations with individuals now under criminal indictment, I would not have acquiesced to his participation," Sondland told the House committee.

Giuliani is also reportedly under investigation by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. According to a report published by The New York Times last month, federal prosecutors are looking into whether his involvement with Ukraine violated federal lobbying laws.

Rudy Giuliani speaks to the Organization of Iranian American Communities during their march outside the United Nations headquarters in New York on September 24. Giuliani is at the center of the House Democrats' ongoing impeachment probe against President Donald Trump.
