(UTV|COLOMBO) – A Ukrainian ex-prosecutor general has told the BBC there is no reason for his country to investigate President Donald Trump’s political rival Joe Biden.
Yuriy Lutsenko said any investigation into Mr Biden and his son would have to start in the US.
“I don’t know any reason to investigate Joe Biden or Hunter Biden according to Ukrainian law,” he said.
Mr Trump’s efforts to have Ukraine investigate the pair prompted an impeachment inquiry by the Democrats.
A transcript of a call Mr Trump made to Ukraine’s new President Volodymyr Zelensky on 25 July shows he urged him to investigate discredited corruption allegations against Mr Biden and his son.
