Volker told lawmakers he did not partake in urging #Ukraine to investigate @JoeBiden.

The testimony directly contradicted a hearsay claim in the anonymous #WhistleblowersComplaint suggesting that #Volker and the @USAmbEU, #GordonSondland engaged with Ukrainian officials to…
…help them handle Trump’s request to investigate #Biden.

“[At] no time was I aware of or took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden,” Volker said. scribd.com/document/42877…

He tries to claim "at no time was I aware of or took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate" Biden.

Who is he fooling?

NEW YORK TIMES had a blockbuster story May 9, 2019 with Giuliani on the record saying this was the point of the effort.
Elsewhere Volker tries to say:

Sure I was involved in confidential discussions to pressure Ukraine to investigate "Burisma," but we didn't use the word "Biden."

He's really insulting everyone's intelligence.

Here's from NYT May 9 story that Volker SURELY READ.

Burisma=Biden🤫
Or maybe Volker somehow also missed this earlier New York Times May 1 blockbuster story establishing that Giuliani's efforts to pressure Ukraine on Burisma investigation was all about Biden.

Sorry, Ambassador Volker, you're not wriggling out of this part of it.
