Who made the $1M payment from Russia to Lev Parnas, who, according to his lawyer John Dowd [who represented Trump in the Mueller probe], "assisted [Trump's free lawyer] Rudy Giuliani with his representation of President Trump"?
"The [$1M payment to Parnas from a bank account in Russia] came the same month Parnas and Fruman received the first of two requests for documents from congressional committees investigating Trump admin’s actions in Ukraine. The pair initially refused to comply with the requests." 
Prosecutors say Lev Parnas never disclosed the $1 million payment from Russia or that he really received $200,000 for his work on Firtash’s legal team, not the $50,000 he claimed.
NUNES: "I got a call from a number that was Parnas's wife."
The $1M payment from Russia was sent to an account in the name of Parnas’s wife, Svetlana – the same month Parnas refused to comply with congressional requests for documents.

@KatiePhang Prosecutors said the $1M payment from Russia was sent to an account in the name of Parnas’s wife, Svetlana [who Nunes said he got a phone call from]. It appeared “to be an attempt to ensure that any assets were held in Svetlana’s name.
