Lev Parnas makes another appeal to testify.
As Senate Republicans appeared poised to block witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial, Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudolph W. Giuliani who played a key role in the Ukrainian pressure campaign at the center of the proceeding, made a last-ditch bid to testify.
In a letter on Friday to Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, a lawyer for Mr. Parnas outlined an array of evidence that he might offer at the trial.
“Mr. Parnas would testify that at all times he was acting at the direction of Mr. Giuliani, on behalf of his client the president, and that the president and a number of the people in his administration and the G.O.P. were aware of the demands being imposed upon Ukraine,” the lawyer, Joseph A. Bondy, wrote in the letter, which was also sent to Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader.
While the letter did not detail major new revelations, Mr. Bondy hinted at important additions to the timeline of events surrounding the pressure campaign and the effort to remove the American ambassador to Ukraine, Marie L. Yovanovitch.
