Revealed: New texts allegedly show Devin Nunes aide organizing Biden disinformation plot
March 27, 2024
Former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas released what he claims to be texts showing an aide to former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) coordinating with Trump allies how to spread Biden/Ukraine conspiracy theories.
Parnas, who has been slowly rolling out his correspondences with figures in Trump world, was part of Giuliani's effort to push the idea that Biden sought to oust a Ukrainian prosecutor before his son's business holdings could be investigated, which has been repeatedly debunked.
"Devin Nunes with his aide Derek Harvey coordinated with John Solomon, Victoria Toensing, and Rudy Giuliani how to disseminate the disinformation that they sent me to go get on Hunter and Joe Biden!" Parnas posted to X, teasing that there would be "more to come."

The texts show Parnas speaking with Harvey, who told him that right-wing reporter John Solomon "needs to get me the material," and they needed to set up a Skype call with "your four people." He later told Parnas that ne needed to "prep a staff lawyer."
The idea that Biden and his son arranged a bribery or extortion scheme was the basis of former President Donald Trump's attempt to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which led to his first impeachment trial.
It has also been the basis for the GOP's effort to impeach Biden this year, although reports indicate House Republicans are coming to grips with the idea they cannot muster the evidence to do so.
