Circumstances when it comes to ukraine, rudy giuliani going over there, the presidents personal lawyer, and donald trump? >> well, this is well within the fbis bailiwick. as the secretary knows, this is the sort of corruption case they loved best. certainly southern district of new york, other u.s. attorneys offices would have seen news reporting not just on this story but the biden story and would probably be prompted to investigate. so perhaps one of the best guarantees you point out that ther...

And provide more about the ukraine call. >> there is no privilege to engage in underhanded discussions. >> reporter: regarding joe biden, no evidence of wrongdoing tied to his sons ukraine business has been found. relatively rare for the president, hes waking up today back in his own trump tower apartment in new york city because world leaders are gathering for the united nations. it comes at a time when his own interactions with the world leader are under so much scrutiny. among the many meetin...
