"Impeachment Hearing Chaos: Parnas Exposes Giuliani, Ex-Trump Ally Deals Blow"

Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, testified in a Biden impeachment hearing, alleging that Giuliani tasked him with finding dirt on the Bidens to damage their reputations and secure the 2020 election for Trump. Parnas stated that the allegations against the Bidens were false and based on misinformation spread by the Kremlin. The hearing also featured testimony from other witnesses, including a convicted felon and an ex-naval officer, but uncovered no new evidence. Despite the lack of evidence, the Republican-led panel continues its year-long inquiry into President Biden.

"Impeachment Witness Accuses GOP of Doing Russia's Bidding"

Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, accused Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson of doing Russia's bidding by pushing false narratives about the Bidens' corruption in Ukraine to manipulate the 2020 election. Parnas testified to the House Oversight Committee about a coordinated effort by Trump, Giuliani, and others to spread unvetted information. Johnson's investigation with Sen. Chuck Grassley failed to connect Biden to a crime, but Parnas claimed that Johnson and others understood they were pushing a false narrative. Johnson's spokeswoman dismissed the comments as baseless, while Parnas stated that his work returned zero evidence of the Bidens' corruption connected to Ukraine.

DeSantis's campaign has denied the allegations, calling them a "recycled narrative."

DeSantis gains momentum as 2024 campaign launch nears.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis worked more closely with Lev Parnas, a Ukrainian-American businessman accused of funneling Russian money into American political campaigns, than he has previously disclosed, according to a detailed account of their relationship provided by Parnas and 63 previously unreported text messages from DeSantis to Parnas between May and October 2018. The texts show DeSantis frequently appealed to Parnas for introductions, advice, and fundraising help during his campaign for governor, and Parnas served as an intermediary between DeSantis and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who was then the personal attorney of former President Donald Trump.
