around January 2019 Giuliani requested a visa for former Ukrainian prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin to travel to the US. Shokin had been pushed out of his position as Ukraine's top prosecutor in 2016 after pressure from Western leaders, including Biden, cnn.com/2019/10/18/pol…
over concerns that he was not pursuing corruption cases.

Giuliani has previously told CNN he wanted to interview Shokin in person because the Ukrainian promised to reveal dirt on Democrats. (He was in Ukr all the time why bring him here?)

George Kent told congressional
investigators the DOS had objected to the request, and State did not grant the visa.

💥Giuliani, Kent said, then appealed to the White House to have State reverse its decision. Shokin's visa was never granted, although Giuliani eventually spoke with Shokin over Skype.
The incident reveals how Giuliani's work to dig up dirt on Democrats went much further than previously understood -- and included an attempt to directly influence the actions of the federal government.
