Ukrainian president says government will ‘happily’ investigate possible interference in 2016 US election

The Hill logoUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday said his government would “happily” open an investigation into potential interference from Ukraine in the 2016 U.S. election.

The comments from Zelensky come more than two months after Trump asked the foreign president to look into matters related to Ukraine and the U.S. election during a phone call between the two leaders. The phone call is at the center of a whistleblower complaint that prompted an impeachment inquiry in the House.

Speaking to reporters, Zelensky said Ukraine could not make a determination on whether it was involved in election interference without an investigation, according to The Associated Press.
