Since House Democrats released new evidence Tuesday evening from their investigation into the Trump administration’s Ukraine “pressure” campaign. Evidence Democrats say requires further investigation. The primary source of those materials, Lev Parnas — a former Rudy Giuliani associate who has been indicted on charges of funneling foreign money to Republicans — has been making the media rounds and leveling new accusations, including that U.S. Attorney General William Barr was “absolutely” in on the Ukraine scheme. The State Department has responded unequivocally to Parnas’s claim.
Parnas appeared on MSNBC’s “Maddow” Wednesday, where host Rachel Maddow asked him to discuss the various allegations included in the Democrats’ eleventh-hour document dump. “It’s been reported as far as we understand from public reporting that you conveyed to [senior Zelensky aide Sergey] Schafer the exact quid pro quo that you wanted Zelensky to announce investigations into Joe Biden or military aid would not be released to Ukraine. Is that accurate?” asked Maddow, as reported by Mediaite.
