Lev Parnas, the Rudy Giuliani associate who helped set up a taxpayer-funded dirt-gathering trip by Rep. Devin Nunes, has reportedly turned over audio, video, and photographs to the House Intelligence Committee.
ABC News reports that Parnas, who is under indictment for campaign finance violations, including using straw donors and funneling foreign money into U.S. elections, has turned in material that includes Giuliani and Donald Trump. No word yet on Nunes. Parnas’ lawyer said in a statement, “Mr. Parnas has vociferously and publicly asserted his wish to comply with his previously issued subpoena and to provide the House Intelligence Committee with truthful and important information that is in furtherance of justice, not to obstruct it.”
Even if we take his lawyer at his word, and Parnas really does want to turn in everything he has—not remotely a foregone conclusion even in an effort to save his own butt—Parnas wasn’t able to turn over all of the information House investigators wanted, though, because some of it is held by the Southern District of New York’s federal investigators.
