NEW: U.S. attorney details charges against two men with ties to Giuliani for allegedly 'using straw donors and foreign money.' 'The defendants broke the law to gain political influence while avoiding disclosure of who was actually making the donations.'

Two men who reportedly have assisted Rudy Giuliani in his efforts to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's family have been arrested and were charged Thursday in connection with an alleged scheme to circumvent federal laws against foreign campaign donations.

The indictment outlines a"foreign national donor scheme" alleging the men “conspired to circumvent the federal law against foreign influence by engaging in a scheme to funnel foreign money to candidates ….” The indictment, details how the four defendants allegedly funneled"$1-2 million" from a Russian donor into the U.S. political system between June 2018 and April of this year.

Additionally, Parnas and Fruman allegedly made a series of illegal straw donations that included a $325,000 donation to the pro-Trump Super PAC America First Action, and prosecutors allege that the two violated the law by falsely reporting the origin of those funds as under the name of"Global Energy Producers."

The indictment doesn't name the congressman, but the description matches ABC News' reporting that Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, had benefited from $3 million in backing from the super PAC during the 2018 cycle, and that during the same month that Parnas raised funds for Sessions, Sessions wrote a letter calling for Yovanovitch's immediate removal.

The super PAC, America First Action, wrote in a statement to ABC News that it takes its legal obligations seriously, and has not used the $325,000 donation in question because it is involved in a separate case.

tvdfan_andmore .When will you be reporting on the $80,000 donation Obama got from the Albanian PM and was sentenced to prison recently? Or the other campaign finance violations Obama comitted and paid large fines for?

Amazing. Just as Giuliani closes in on the bribes paid to Biden by burisma... The deep state rears its ugly head. The FBI is corrupt as hell and Trump needs to clean house before they launch a coup.

No its an ImpeachmentHoax

SneedRick Get BigMoney OUT of Politics! End CitizensUnited CitizensUnitedMustGo

Guiliani needs to be charged. Then once Trump is out of Office, He's going to face hundreds of FEC violations. This is going to be great.

Mmmmmm....no tweets from the White House Clown about this 🤡 ? realDonaldTrump RemoveTrumpNow 25thAmmendmentNow

As everyday goes by more democrats names pop out in dealings with Ukraine!

Man where are the charges agaisnt AOC and Omar ? Oh sure a political arrest

Yeah something tells me this is political theater

Yeah... Trumpian Corruption!

Let’s just get the money out of politics. Every campaign gets a certain stipend from the gov’t each month and that’s it. That way we can just vote on the candidates and not their backers plans!

Barr was told about the warrant yesterday, THEN they had lunch with Giuliani (at the Trump Hotel) and THEN they went to the airport. 🤔

Can someone please explain why these people are going to jail and not the actual person who the money was going to?

Looks like Donald Trump and Rudy giuliani's underlings just got busted. Is this a type of corruption that Trump was seeking in Ukraine on Biden Jr. Totally laughable.

“Straw donors & foreign money” along “With 1 way tickets”...those the operative words....1 way tickets

They fucked.

What a 💩show.

Where is the arrest for HillaryClinton FEC said she laundered $84 million in campaign donations?

At the airport. Waiting for an international flight. With one way tickets.

OMG! More fake news!?

Bernie accepted foreign contributions but not arrested?

They better have been paper straws!!! Sorry...humor is all I have left at this point.

Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news

I am just waiting to see how this turn to be a nothingburger just (again) to try to take realDonaldTrump down or worst waiting to see how this backfires big time as usual.

'I want to add that this investigation is continuing,' U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman says.

Oh My!! You'd think someone was found dead like they did when Bill & Hillary was in the White House.

RudyGiuliani 's name is all over twitter! 😂

Greed drives Giuliani and Trump. No integrity, honor or principles. Just raw greed.

which was peanuts compared to the ChiCom money that Bill Clinton used to win his first election, or the Russian Money Hillary scammed through her foundation.

Damn!

They were just ' Coffee Boys '.

The dominoes are falling one by one...
