KIEV, Ukraine — A former top Ukrainian prosecutor, whose allegations were
at the heart of the dirt-digging effort by Rudolph W. Giuliani, said
Thursday he believed that Hunter Biden did not run afoul of any laws in
Ukraine.
“From the perspective of Ukrainian legislation, he did not violate anything
,” former Ukrainian prosecutor general Yuri Lutsenko told The Washington
Post in his first interview since the disclosure of a whistleblower
complaint alleging pressure by President Trump on Ukraine’s president,
Volodymr Zelensky.
Lutsenko’s comments about Hunter Biden — which echo what he told Bloomberg
News in May — were significant, because Trump and his personal attorney
Giuliani have sought to stir up suspicions about both Hunter and former vice
president Joe Biden’s conduct in Ukraine in recent weeks. Joe Biden is
leading Trump in many opinion polls ahead of the 2020 election.
Hunter Biden has denied any wrongdoing, and there is no evidence he was
involved in any lawbreaking in his work in Ukraine with the country’s
largest private gas company.
Lutsenko has been an elusive figure in recent weeks since stepping down from
office in late August, but his conversations with Giuliani figure highly in
both Giuliani’s own allegations about corruption in Ukraine and in the
whistleblower complaint that was declassified Thursday.

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son,” Trump told Zelensky in a July
25 phone call, a rough transcript of which was released Wednesday.
According to the complaint, Trump in the call “praised Ukraine’s
Prosecutor General, Mr. Yuriy Lutsenko, and suggested that Mr. Zelenskyy
might want to keep him in his position.”
The rough transcript of the call released Wednesday by the White House did
not mention a prosecutor general by name, and it was unclear from the
transcript which official Trump was referring to.
Trump went on to tell Zelensky to be in touch with Giuliani and Attorney
General William P. Barr and suggested that U.S. investigators could assist
the Ukrainians to look into any wrongdoing.
But Lutsenko said he was not aware of any U.S. law enforcement officials
coming to Ukraine to assist in any such probes while he was in office.
“No American groups came to Ukraine for an investigation” during Lutsenko
’s tenure from May 2016 until late August.
Giuliani has alleged that Hunter Biden was involved in corruption during his
nearly five years on the board of Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company.
Giuliani has not offered any evidence. Burisma’s owner came under scrutiny
by Lutsenko’s predecessors for possible abuse of power and unlawful
enrichment, but Hunter Biden was never accused of any wrongdoing in the
investigation.
As vice president, Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire Lutsenko’s
predecessor, Viktor Shokin, who Biden and other Western officials said was
not sufficiently pursuing corruption cases. At the time, the investigation
into Burisma was dormant, according to former Ukrainian and U.S. officials.
“Hunter Biden cannot be responsible for violations of the management of
Burisma that took place two years before his arrival,” Lutsenko said.
Lutsenko had earlier cast doubt on Hunter Biden’s actions in Ukraine, an
effort that drew Giuliani’s notice last year. Lutsenko said that Giuliani
tried to arrange a meeting with him two times before they finally managed to
connect on the third try in January,
“I took a vacation. I took my youngest son, I showed him New York and I met
with Mr. Giuliani,” Lutsenko said. “I had a long conversation with him.
But this was only in the forum of exchanging information.”
Lutsenko met with Giuliani again in Warsaw in mid-February, then for a third
and final time “in Europe,” he said, refusing to be more specific.
Lutsenko did not fully explain the change of heart in May when he gave an
interview to Bloomberg in which he said he believed Hunter Biden had not
broken any Ukrainian laws.
But Lutsenko said that if U.S. authorities were separately interested in
Hunter Biden’s financial arrangements in Ukraine, Ukrainian law enforcement
officials would be happy to comply.
Trump and Giuliani have also alleged that Ukrainian officials intervened in
the 2016 election to favor Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Their
complaints were fueled in part by Lutsenko’s own publicly alleged concerns,
which he said he passed along in person to Giuliani over the course of
three meetings.
“If we talk about Ukrainian collusion, I think that there were signs of
this type of interference,” Lutsenko said, pointing to the appearance in
August 2016 of a mysterious black ledger that appeared to detail secret
Ukrainian government payments to Paul Manafort for his work as a consultant
to former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych. The release of the ledger
that month quickly forced Manafort to step down as Trump’s campaign
chairman.
Ukrainian officials have denied any effort to help Clinton in the 2016
election.
Lutsenko had declined repeated requests for an interview in recent days. But
on Thursday, a Kiev-based reporter saw Lutsenko in the lobby of a popular
hotel in central Kiev. He entered the Premier Cigar Lounge of the hotel and
had lunch. After he finished eating, reporters approached him, and although
he said he had no time to talk, he kept answering questions for more than
half an hour.
Lutsenko said that he planned to leave later Thursday for Britain, where he
was going to spend a month studying English. | b******2
