Hmm..looks like one of Rudy's dominoes may be falling:
A co-defendant of two associates of Rudy Giuliani who has denied laundering foreign money into U.S. political campaigns is scheduled to change his plea in the case, according to a court filing.
The co-defendant, David Correia, was charged along with Giuliani associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman in 2019 with a wide-ranging scheme to solicit campaign donations from foreign investors and use them to advance business ventures in the U.S.
While most of the focus has been on the role Parnas and Fruman played in helping Giuliani and President Donald Trump in Ukraine, which figured in Trump’s impeachment, other charges involving Correia included laundering donations from a foreign backer to launch a marijuana business in Nevada.
Correia has pleaded not guilty to charges including making false statements to election officials, falsification of records, conspiracy to launder foreign donations into U.S. campaigns and conspiracy to defraud investors in a business venture. A videoconference hearing has been scheduled for Thursday morning for the change of plea, according to the filing. It isn’t clear which charges would be the subject of the change.
If Correia pleads guilty to any of the charges, it would constitute the first admission of guilt by any of the defendants in the case.
