Giuliani announced that he would travel to Kyiv to urge the incoming Ukrainian government to pursue investigations involving Joe Biden and the 2016 election, saying the information would be helpful to Trump. He canceled the trip after public criticism. The House inquiry documented that Giuliani continued the effort through other contacts, so cancellation ended the travel plan, not the private channel.
