• A Ukrainian lawmaker with ties to Russian intelligence leaked on Tuesday excerpts of recordings of phone calls reportedly between former Vice President Joe Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko discussing the ouster of a Ukrainian prosecutor.
• In one of the tapes, Poroshenko told Biden that he asked for former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin’s resignation despite having no evidence of wrongdoing.
• “I’m a man of my word,” Biden allegedly told Poroshenko in a later phone call. “And now that the new prosecutor general is in place, we’re ready to move forward to signing that $1 billion dollar loan guarantee.”
