Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney Vetting Giuliani's Biden Info: Report

PITTSBURGH, PA - U.S. Attorney Scott Brady's office in Pittsburgh is examining material President Trump's personal attorney obtained from Ukrainian sources claiming to have damaging information on former Vice President Joe Biden and his family.

Citing two sources, The Washington Post reported that Brady's office was vetting the information that Rudy Giuliani forwarded to the Justice Department.The Post could not say why the material was being reviewed in Pittsburgh, and a spokeswoman for Brady declined comment.

Speaking at a news conference on an unrelated matter Monday, Attorney General William Barr acknowledged for the first time that the Justice Department is scrutinizing some of the allegations related to the political probes that helped launch the impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Giuliani has been working to obtain information on the work that Biden's son, Hunter, did for a Ukrainian energy company.

Giuliani himself is being investigated by the Justice Department in a case that has produced campaign finance charges against Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. Both men aided Giuliani in his Ukraine-related activities.
