The murder story involving the ‘Ukrainian Putin,’ who just met with Rudy Giuliani

Rudolph W. Giuliani has made a habit of working with Ukrainian politicians of questionable repute in his search for information to help President Trump. And even as Trump is on the verge of being impeached over the whole thing, Giuliani was in Ukraine again on Thursday, meeting with yet another one.

The story behind this one, though, is particularly dark.

Andriy Derkach is an independent member of Ukraine’s parliament who has caught Giuliani’s eye by pushing for his own government to investigate former vice president Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. As Time magazine reports, though, Derkach hasn’t really produced any information suggesting actual wrongdoing, and he hasn’t gotten much traction.
