'Stop whining Donny': Convicted Trump ally tells ex-president 'it's time to pay the piper'

A man who was prosecuted for what he says were crimes he committed on behalf of Donald Trump has a serious warning for the former president.

Trump on Saturday attacked a key witness in his felony criminal trial slated for Monday, prompting some to ask if there will be "consequences" for the apparent violation of a gag order in the hush money case. Trump's gag order was recently strengthened after Trump repeatedly attacked the judge's daughter for her company's ties to top Democrats.

Trump's attacks also caused some harsh words from Lev Parnas, who says he worked with Trump's inner circle to build a Joe Biden conspiracy theory. Parnas is known as a former associate of "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani, a key ally of Trump.

Parnas, who has been rolling out the receipts from his time in Trump's orbit, was found guilty on October 22, 2021, after a two-week jury trial on campaign finance and false statements offenses, and pleaded guilty to participating in a wire fraud conspiracy several months after that.

On Saturday, Parnas addressed Trump directly while quoting the former president's attack from earlier in the day, which was directed at his former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen.

"Stop whining Donny, it’s time to pay the piper!!!" Parnas wrote. He added, "I was prosecuted, and [Cohen] was prosecuted for the crimes we committed on your behalf!!!"

Parnas then made a prediction about Trump's chances in the criminal hush money trial, where the ex-president stands accused of falsifying business records to conceal a scheme to hide information about a purported affair with an adult film star.

"Now you will finally be prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated for the crimes you committed against the United States Of America!!!" Parnas added.
