Giuliani associate Parnas says Trump 'knew exactly what was going on'
Source: NBC News
Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani who has been implicated in an alleged attempt to pressure the Ukrainian government to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, says, President Trump knew exactly what was going on."
He was aware of all my movements. I wouldn't do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani, or the president. I have no intent, I have no reason to speak to any of these officials, Parnas, who faces campaign finance charges, told MSNBCs Rachel Maddow in an interview set to air Wednesday night.
"I mean they have no reason to speak to me. Why would President Zelenskiys inner circle, or Minister Avakov, or all these people, or President Poroshenko meet with me? Who am I? They were told to meet with me. And that's the secret that they're trying to keep. I was on the ground doing their work, Parnas said.
Parnas and another Giuliani associate, Igor Fruman, have been charged with making $325,000 in illegal straw donations to a Trump super PAC, as well as giving $15,000 to a second committee among a flurry of political donations intended to help them advance the interests of a Ukrainian government official and a Russian national seeking to break into the cannabis industry.

(43,182 posts)He seems like a basically honest guy, with a great burden, and seems relieved at telling his tale, realizing the events he is mired in. There are some people who would like to keep him quiet, surely!
