Ex-Giuliani Associate Igor Fruman Plans to Plead Guilty in Illegal Contributions Case by @KlasfeldReports
In 2019 Fruman & Lev Parnas were charged with illegal campaign contributions in indictment that revealed plot to oust ex-U.S. Ambassador Yovanovitch lawandcrime.com/high-profile/e…
After 2019 indictment Parnas cooperated w/Dems in the Committee’s investigation. Fruman did not.
Parnas faced additional charges in connection with the company Fraud Guarantee. Fruman did not.
