Two Giuliani Associates at Center of Trump Impeachment Inquiry Have Been Arrested

Two associates of Rudy Giuliani who assisted in efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rival Joe Biden, have been arrested.

The NYT reports: ‘The two men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, believed to be important witnesses in the House’s impeachment inquiry of Mr. Trump, were arrested on campaign finance charges. The arrests and charges were first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Mr. Parnas and Mr. Fruman aided Mr. Giuliani’s efforts to gin up investigations in Ukraine into former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, among other potentially politically beneficial investigations for Mr. Trump.’

The men had been scheduled for depositions with House investigators this week though neither had been expected to show up.

Though Giuliani has identified the men as “clients,” Parnas and Fruman have hired Trump’s former attorney John Dowd to represent them.

An American analyst describes Kolomoisky as “super dangerous.” The notorious oligarch returned from a long exile and immediately threatened and defamed two Americans, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. They are my clients and I have advised them to press charges.

Details of the indictment are expected later on Thursday.
