A lawyer for Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash was the source of $1 million that was deposited into a family account of Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, the U.S. said.

The revelation lays out a financial link between Firtash, who has been charged with conspiracy by the U.S. and is living in Vienna, and one of the people whose work with Giuliani is at the center of the U.S. impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

U.S. prosecutors previously said that Parnas had failed to disclose that his wife had received $1 million in September from a bank account in Russia. In federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebekah Donaleski disclosed the source of the loan as the U.S. seeks to put Parnas behind bars as he awaits trial.

Parnas worked with Giuliani to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his family. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are pursuing campaign-finance charges against Parnas and others even as his work with Giuliani is also the subject of an impeachment vote in the House of Representatives scheduled for Wednesday.
