President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani told CNN today that some of the documents provided to Congress by the State Department’s inspector general originated with him.

Earlier this afternoon, State Department inspector general Steve Linick met with senior congressional staff and provided them with a packet of dozens of pages of documents. The documents make many of the same unproven claims about Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, that Giuliani and his allies have been sharing, according to a copy of the documents obtained by CNN.

There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden.

Giuliani said in late March of 2019, he “routed” what he called an “outline” of allegations against Biden as well the US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, to the office of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Giuliani said he also sent details of his interviews from earlier in the year with the incumbent and former top prosecutors in Ukraine, who helped provide him with the information in his outline.

Giuliani said he received a phone call shortly thereafter from Pompeo, who told him he would be referring the documents for investigation.
