NEW: The private Instagram account of Lev Parnas reveals new clues about his access to the Trump family and his close relationship with Rudy Giuliani.

w/ @emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo One of Parnas's first photos, posted in April 2015, shows him posing next to Ivana Trump and his business partner David Correia.

The caption: “Fraud Guarantee pow wow at Lique The atmosphere TRUMPS the rest! #FraudGuarantee #IvanaTrump #bigbusiness #greatvibe #lastnight #Trump”
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo In August of 2015, Parnas posted four photos and a video from a Trump campaign event at Doral, including this picture with Trump and his son.

@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo Then, his account jumps from 2015 to 2018. In Aug '18, Parnas posted a pic of a personalized thank-you note from POTUS & FLOTUS. “Lev Parnas, Thank you for your friendship and dedication to our cause,” it reads. WH didn't respond to request for comment.

wsj.com/video/private-…
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo Leading up to the midterms, Parnas posted dozens of photos from GOP events across the country.

Between events, he put up photos of himself flying around on a private jet with Giuliani and Igor Fruman.

See them here: wsj.com/video/private-…
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo Parnas also posted a slideshow of himself with members of the Trump family, including pics with POTUS, Eric and Don Jr.

@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo Parnas also posted a number of photos related to events and fundraisers for Gov. Ron DeSantis leading up to the midterms. A spokeswoman for Gov. DeSantis did not respond to a request for comment.

wsj.com/video/private-…
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo After the midterms, Parnas posted more and more photos with Giuliani: at Yankee Stadium, smoking cigars in Warsaw, taking a private tour of a burned Notre Dame in Paris… the list goes on.

See them here: wsj.com/video/private-…
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo On March 25, the day after Barr released a summary of the Mueller report, Parnas posted photos from what he called a celebratory dinner with the Trump legal team at Trump's hotel in DC.

wsj.com/video/private-…
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo The last posts on Parnas’s Instagram feed are from July 29, 2019. After a post that said “thank you Vienna !!” he wrote “Good morning Madrid !!” Days after that pic was put up, Giuliani met with Ukrainian official Andrey Yermak in Madrid.

wsj.com/video/private-…
@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo A lawyer for Parnas said he’ll plead not guilty to the charges he's facing & said it’s no surprise he has pics with Trump bc he was a major donor & was helping Giuliani rep him.

A lawyer for Fruman declined to comment.

Giuliani didn't respond to a Q about the photos.

@emmatscott @LaurizzleK @WSJVideo Finally, a big thank you to my @WSJVideo colleagues for all the weekend work on this: @BennyBip @emmatscott @LaurizzleK + Adele Morgan.

While we wait on the jury in the Roger Stone trial, I'm wondering if we'll ever know the real deal behind Stone's Aug 2016 "Podesta" tweet.

Jerome Corsi said Stone sought his help in creating a "cover story" for it, which Stone has denied:
wsj.com/articles/jerom…
In early Aug 2016, Corsi emailed Stone about WikiLeaks' plans. "Time to let more than Podesta to be exposed as in bed w enemy," he wrote.

Corsi told us last year that he merely "figured out" Assange had Podesta's emails, and he relayed that to Stone.

wsj.com/video/jerome-c…
Stone has long maintained that his tweet was a reference to Podesta's lobbying activities, which Corsi had researched for him.

But Corsi contradicted him last yr, saying he didn't research Podesta until after Stone asked him to create an "alternative explanation" for the tweet.

Timeline:

Yovanovitch testified that Trump had concerns about her since July 2018. She believed bc of info that Lutsenko passed to Giuliani.

But Giuliani, on various TV shows, has said his Ukraine effort didn't start until Nov. 2018- months later:
wsj.com/video/timeline…
A few things that did happen before July 2018:

-Fruman attended Mar-a-Lago event on 3/3, per his photos

-Parnas took pic w/Trump & dined at WH, per his 5/1 pics

-Parnas met w/ Pete Sessions on 5/9, per photos. That day, Sessions wrote to Pompeo seeking Yovanovitch's expulsion
Yovanovitch goes on to say that she heard that Giuliani first met Lutsenko in June of 2018:

Having spent a huge chunk of time in "troll-land" last year, it's very nice to see our WSJ stories referenced in this.

Also, Americans should really read this bipartisan report.
From report: "No single group of Americans was targeted by IRA information operatives more than African-Americans."

Our story on how Russian trolls targeted blacks using a black business directory, self-defense lessons & police brutality petitions: wsj.com/articles/russi…
Also, per report: "paid ads were not key to the IRA's activity & are not alone an accurate measure of the IRA's operational scope, scale or objectives."

Our story about how social media cos- which talked a lot about ads- didn't disclose key info to public wsj.com/articles/only-…

Trump has more reason than ever for genuine alarm

The House Will Impeach Trump For Abuse Of Power

“The leader of the free world?

More like the caddy for the Bad Boys of Global Disorder.”

Erdogan rolled him twice in the past wk.

Putin has Trump’s ear/obedience.
🇷🇺Roulette2🇷🇺

As Trump careens from one series of foreign policy disasters looming impeachment investigations, & failed trade war blunders, @GOP are beginning to see the writing on the wall.

America isn’t doing a lot of winning, & not amount of Trump Tweets will change that.
🇷🇺Roulette3🇷🇺

“Trump is submerged in a sea of political troubles, all of his own making.

It becomes harder & harder to blame all of his troubles on PBO/Deep State or whatever conspiracy du jour is lighting up the FB groups where his supporters tell themselves pretty lies.”
