NEW: Rudy Giuliani says that he personally gave Sec. Pompeo a file of documents with unproven allegations against former VP Biden and was told that the US State Dept. would take up an investigation of those claims. nbcnews.to/32VSP0w
Some of those documents are contained in the 79-page packet that the State Dept.'s inspector general handed over to Congress on Wednesday, which have been obtained by @NBCNews.
Also included in the packet are nearly 20 pages of communications between State Dept. employees working to push back against the “fake narrative” that Giuliani was pushing.
The packet is largely the work of Giuliani. Giuliani told @NBCNews that he handed the documents “directly to the Secretary of State,” Mike Pompeo, on March 28.
The documents appeared in Trump Hotel folders and included “interview” notes Giuliani and his team conducted with Viktor Shokin, the former general prosecutor of Ukraine.
When State Dept. officials saw the disinformation campaign, they attempted to ring alarm bells and strategized to correct the record, the documents show.
