Two Giuliani Associates Who Helped Him on Ukraine Charged With Campaign-Finance Violations

WASHINGTON—Two Soviet-born donors to a pro- Trump fundraising committee who helped Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate Democrat Joe Biden were arrested late Wednesday on criminal charges of violating campaign finance rules.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen, have been under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, and are expected to appear in federal court in Virginia later on Thursday, the people said. Both men were born in former Soviet republics.

Mr. Giuliani, President Trump’s private lawyer, identified the two men in May as his clients. Both men have donated to Republican campaigns including Mr. Trump’s, and in May 2018 gave $325,000 to the primary pro-Trump super PAC, America First Action, through an LLC called Global Energy Producers, according to Federal Election Commission records.

The men were charged with four counts, including conspiracy, falsification of records and lying to the FEC about their political donations, according to the indictment that outlines a conspiracy to funnel a Russian donor’s money into U.S. elections.

Rudy Colludy at it again!

I like the word-play "foreign born"..."soviet born".

How much ya want to bet they are US citizens?

That is cute, you make that up yourself ??

Trump does not need foreign funds,
he's doing fine domestically.

Keep telling yourself that....

But it's patently false.

This is democrats thinking they are playing hardball :D

They'll make the most of these headlines & the story will die as soon as these guys sue for wrongful arrest.

LOL How convenient!

Funny how fast they can move on something like this but NOTHING ever happens to the demonrats.

Giuliani says it's funny how something that dates back more than a year becomes a "criminal case" all of a sudden :)
