WASHINGTON (JTA) — Lev Parnas, the Ukrainian-American businessman charged with campaign finance violations related to the Trump-Ukraine scandal, said he will cooperate with congressional impeachment investigators.

Parnas’ attorney told Reuters that Parnas, who has ties to President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, will comply with requests for records and testimony. Parnas helped Giuliani coax Ukrainian officials to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Last month he rejected requests from three House of Representatives committees to provide documents and testimony, according to Reuters.

Attorney Joseph Bondy told the news service that he would “scrupulously” protect Parnas’ Fifth Amendment constitutional protection against self-incrimination.

Parnas and another Ukrainian-American Jewish businessman, Igor Fruman, have pleaded not guilty to charges of campaign finance violations related to the scandal.

I am sure everyone is eager to help this investigation find whatever the facts are.

I understand that Parnas decided to testify after Trump denied knowing him. He took that as an insult.
His testimony about Rudy’s dealings with the Ukraine on behalf of Trump should be interesting.

Parnas and Frum-man are both under arrest as ‘flight risks’ so they wear trumpf ankle bracelets, like Mike Coy-hen, Manafart, Roger Stoned, In-like -Flynn and 42 others. We can thank Disemboweled Donald for draining the sewer of his own goniffs. FEH
