More Charges “Likely” Against Giuliani’s Henchmen

Bloomberg News reports:

The U.S is “likely” to bring additional charges in a case against Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, associates of Rudy Giuliani who are accused of skirting campaign contribution limits as part of a plot to oust the American ambassador to Ukraine, a prosecutor said.

Speaking in response to a question from U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken about whether the government planned to file additional charges, Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Zolkind said: “Certainly the investigation is ongoing. We think a superseding indictment is likely.”

Parnas and Fruman were charged in October. According to prosecutors, they illegally funneled foreign money into U.S. political campaigns, including a $325,000 contribution to the pro-Trump America First political action committee. Both men have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Giuliani associates in Manhattan federal court this morning where Prosecutors said they are in the process of handing over a large amount of material that includes 29 electronic devices taken from the four defendants, including one satellite phone seized from Furman’s residence.
