Contacts between Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pompeo revealed in newly released papers

A hundred pages document obtained from the United States Department says clearly the detailed contacts between Rudy Giuliani, a personal lawyer of President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at a critical point in the Ukraine affair.

A self-described non-partisan watchdog American Oversight, investigating Trump administration said the documents provided "a clear paper trail" of contacts in March between Giuliani and Pompeo.

The group did not claim to know what the two men discussed in the calls on March 26 and 29. The document was obtained through a federal Freedom of Information Act.

The documents confirmed contact between the men nearly a month before the then US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, was abruptly recalled.

But the new information reveals a clear paper trail from Giuliani to Pompeo to facilitate campaign against US ambassador.

Witnesses in the impeachment hearings in the United States House of Representatives have described Giuliani as conducting a rogue operation, independent of the State Department's mission, to pressure Kyiv into investigating Trump's domestic political opponents.
