Trump caught talking with indicted Giuliani henchmen Lev Parnas in newly released recording

Published

on

A new audio recording shows Rudy Giuliani’s indicted henchmen Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman talking to President Donald Trump and a former lawmaker mentioned in their charging documents.

Trump has denied knowing the Ukraine-born businessmen, but multiple photos and recordings show Parnas and Fruman interacting with the president and his inner circle — including this latest audio recording obtained by The Daily Beast.

The audio recording, from an April 2018 fundraiser dinner, shows the pair talking with Trump and former Rep. Pete Sessions, who was identified as “Congressman-1” in their October 2019 indictment on campaign finance violations.

Sessions, who served 11 terms in Congress and harbored ambitions of returning, is not accused of any wrongdoing, but the court documents show he received large campaign donations from the Giuliani associates.

Parnas also asked the Texas Republican for help in removing former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, according to the indictment.

The indicted businessman directly implicated Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in the Ukraine scheme during a Wednesday night appearance on CNN.

Published

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asserted on Tuesday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her fellow Democrats have "contempt" for America because they disagreed with President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address.

Moments after Pelosi was seen ripping up an advanced copy of the president's speech, Cruz made a complaint to Fox New host Sean Hannity.

"It culminated at that moment at the end when Pelosi ripped that speech," Cruz ranted. "It was disgusting. I was sitting 50 feet away from her and it made me angry."

While Rush Limbaugh is currently under fire for his unchecked misogyny and sexism, another running theme of Limbaugh's broadcast career has been hostility towards racial and ethnic minorities.
