Brim asked about the fallout from Giuliani's initial announcement of the decision to go, including U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy's request that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee launch an investigation into the situation.

“Rudolph Giuliani, the President's personal lawyer, appears to have held meetings with Ukrainian officials in the United States and plans to travel to Ukraine for further discussions,” Murphy wrote in a letter to committee Chairman Sen. James Risch. “To our knowledge, none of these meetings are coordinated with the US State Department or other government agencies.”
