Lev Parnas, a Ukrainian associate of President Donald Trump's personal
lawyer Rudy Giuliani, told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, in an exclusive
interview airing Wednesday, that the president was aware of and involved
with his actions connected to a pressure campaign in Ukraine at every
step of the way. Specifically, Parnas and Giuliani were instrumental in
Trump's efforts to strong-arm Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
into publicly committing to investigations that would be beneficial to
Trump's reelection campaign. Parnas and one of Giuliani's other
associates, Igor Fruman, were arrested and charged last year with
violating campaign-finance laws connected to their work for Giuliani.
They pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, and Parnas has
since embarked on a media campaign to cooperate with the ongoing
impeachment proceedings against the president.
