4th Defendant Arrested In Alleged Campaign Contribution Scheme Linked To Giuliani
A fourth defendant who allegedly conspired with associates of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to illegally funnel foreign money into Republican campaigns, has turned himself in to authorities.

In the grand jury indictment issued last week by Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, the two associates of Giuliani are accused of setting up a shell company, Global Energy Producers LLC, to hide the foreign sourcing of a $325,000 donation to America First Action, a pro-Trump superPAC. The alleged illegal transfer appears to have first been noticed last year by the nonprofit watchdog Campaign Legal Center.

Earlier this week, a grand jury issued a subpoena for former Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions, who is thought to be the "congressman-1" listed in the indictment. According to the indictment, Fruman and Parnas met with "congressman-1" during the 2018 campaign and pledged to raise $20,000 for him, possibly in exchange for "assistance" in removing then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.
Donald "Comrade" Trump and his henchman, Rudy "Crazy Eyes" Giuliani are getting dirtier and dirtier.
One big happy crime family:
