President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani says he plans to travel to Ukraine in the coming days in an attempt to push for investigations that he says could benefit Trump. Giuliani told The New York Times in a Thursday interview that he plans to ask the country's president-elect to look into the origin of the federal Russia probe as well as former Vice President Joe Biden's past influence on the country.

Giuliani said Biden family connection to Ukraine is not being investigated because the press is "totally corrupt." "The fact is this was a massive collusion between the Democratic National Committee, officials of the Obama administration, Clinton people, and the Ukrainian officials, corrupt officials -- who, by the way, were pro-Russian corrupt officials -- to create false information about Trump, about Manafort," Giuliani told FOX News host Laura Ingraham in an interview Thursday night.
