U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's incoming Ukraine envoy has postponed a fact-finding trip to Kyiv and other European capitals until after Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, according to four sources with knowledge of the trip's planning.

Retired Lieutenant-General Keith Kellogg, who is set to serve as Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, had initially planned a mission to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian leaders in early January, Reuters reported last month. His team was also setting up meetings with officials in other European capitals, including Rome and Paris.

But the trip, which would have marked the first time incoming Trump administration officials headed to Kyiv since the Nov. 5 election, has been pushed back, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss private matters.

Kellogg is now expected to travel to Ukraine after Trump takes office, though no date has been set, the sources said.

It was not immediately clear why Kellogg was delaying the trip.

Isn't that the pretext Comey at FBI used to entrap Michael Flynn?

How dare you talk to foreigners before you take office?!

And Jeff Sessions let it all happen.
