New charges federal prosecutors are weighing against Lev Parnas could place Rudy Giuliani closer to the ongoing investigation of his associates, CNN reported Monday.
Prosecutors are weighing charges against Parnas and at least one of his business partners on misleading investors for Fraud Guarantee, a company co-founded by Parnas that paid Giuliani $500,000, people familiar with the investigation told CNN.
The payment to Giuliani came around the time that Parnas and his associate Igor Fruman began aiding Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, in arranging meetings in Ukraine to get information on Trump’s political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden, according to CNN.
