U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry had no knowledge that President Donald Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma, the Ukrainian company that hired Biden’s son Hunter, according to an interview set to air on Fox News this weekend.
“Not once, not once was the name Burisma [or] the Bidens mentioned to me,“ Perry told Fox News. ”Not by the president, not by Rudy Giuliani, and not by [U.S. Ambassador to the European Union] Gordon Sondland. And if there’s anyone who says anything different, then they’re surmising. And that’s not a wise thing to do.”
