Two Men Associated With Rudy Giuliani And Tied To Ukraine Scandal Are Arrested On Campaign Finance Charges

According to court documents released Thursday, two associates of Rudy Giuliani — who have been linked to his investigations in Ukraine — have been indicted for campaign finance violations.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman are accused of using a limited liability company to make political contributions related to American elections, in violation of FEC prohibitions against contributions from foreign nationals. Both men have been linked to Giuliani’s efforts to conduct investigations in Ukraine.

Parnas and Fruman were arrested Wednesday at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Giuliani, an attorney for President Trump, said he finds it “extremely suspicious” that the arrest was made in connection with an FEC matter that has yet to be resolved, and which Giuliani said is a civil matter. Giuliani acknowledged that both men “logistically helped” in his collection of evidence against Hunter Biden, and that they helped connect him with former Ukrainian top prosecutors Viktor Shokin and Yuriy Lutsenko.
