Trump impeachment inquiry: Released records reveal Pompeo-Giuliani contacts
The US State Department has released records relating to the Trump administration's dealings with Ukraine.
Documents were released to the ethics watchdog American Oversight after a freedom of information request.
The records show repeated contacts between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Mr Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
US ties with Ukraine are at the centre of an impeachment investigation against Mr Trump.
The president is accused of withholding aid to Ukraine that had been approved by Congress to pressure the country into investigating his political rival Joe Biden.
Trump has declared the inquiry a "witch hunt" and denies any wrongdoing.
