The Treasury Department on Thursday*imposed sanctions*against Andriy Derkach, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, who was described as an “active Russian agent for over a decade.”*Treasury says*that Derkach has “been complicit in foreign interference in an attempt to undermine the upcoming 2020 U.S. presidential election” — for example, by releasing “edited audio tapes and other unsupported information with the intent to discredit U.S. officials.”
The target of Derkach’s smear campaign has been Democratic nominee Joe Biden — and Derkach’s willing collaborator has been Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer. Giuliani now claims to barely know Derkach, but the former New York mayor has met with him at least three times. Earlier this year, he*told The Post*that he knew Derkach “quite well” and that the Ukrainian lawmaker “has been very helpful to me.” Trump, in turn,*has hyped*this Russian agent’s bogus charges against Biden.
