Lawyer says Giuliani associate Lev Parnas prepared to comply in impeachment inquiry [View all]
Source: The Hill
Lev Parnas, one of two Ukrainian-American associates of Rudy Giuliani who were indicted last month, is now prepared to comply with the Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Trump, his lawyer told Reuters on Monday.
The House impeachment investigators have requested the businessman provide records and testimony related to the ongoing investigation into whether Trump sought to pressure the Ukrainian government for his political gain. Parnas, who at the time was represented by a different lawyer, had previously declined to cooperate with the requests.
“We will honor and not avoid the committee’s requests to the extent they are legally proper, while scrupulously protecting Mr Parnas’ privileges including that of the Fifth Amendment,” Joseph Bondy, Parnas's lawyer, told the news outlet.
Bondy did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill. Parnas’s former lawyer John Dowd told the House committees participating in the inquiry last month that the requests for his client were "overly broad and unduly burdensome."
