'Good for all of us': Giuliani's Ukraine phone call over Biden revealed

Never-before-heard audio, obtained exclusively by CNN, shows how former US President Donald Trump's longtime adviser Rudy Giuliani relentlessly pressured and coaxed the Ukrainian government in 2019 to investigate baseless conspiracies about then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The audio is of a July 2019 phone call between Giuliani, US diplomat Kurt Volker, and Andriy Yermak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The call was a precursor to Mr Trump's infamous call with Mr Zelensky, and both conversations later became a central part of Mr Trump's first impeachment, where he was accused of soliciting Ukrainian help for his campaign.

During the roughly 40-minute call, Mr Giuliani repeatedly told Mr Yermak that Mr Zelensky should publicly announce investigations into possible corruption by Mr Biden in Ukraine, and into claims that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election to hurt Mr Trump. These separate claims are both untrue.
