Lutsenko was simultaneously aiding Giuliani in his quest — which is now at the heart of Trump's impeachment inquiry — to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, as well as any information on the unfounded allegations that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 general election.
