Both men were involved in Giuliani's efforts to pressure Ukrainian officials to open an investigation into one of President Trump's Democratic opponents: former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

The two foreign-born associates of President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani who were arrested Wednesday night were prepared to leave the country"with one-way tickets," according to federal prosecutors.

"The defendants broke the law to gain political influence, while avoiding disclosure of who was actually making the donations and where the money was coming from," Geoffrey Berman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, told reporters Thursday."They sought political influence, not only to advance their own financial interests, but to advance the political interests of at least one Ukrainian government official who sought the dismissal of the US ambassador to Ukraine.

Parnas and Fruman donated to Republican campaigns in the past, including giving $325,000 to the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action in 2018. Berman said the donation was not made in their name, but rather in the name of a corporation they established to shield their own names.

Why was Giuliani scheduled to meet them the next day at their destination? That's what I wanna know.

Looks fucked up

Why isn’t RudyGiuliani in custody? Is he an informant? Nothing else makes sense. 🤐

Someone tipped them off. Hmmm.

Not just that, according to WSJ, these guys had hours before lunch with Giuliani. Is any one surprised why Trump is so soft on Russia? Is it that hard to see the connection? FoxNews, come one do one for the country.

Of course Giuliani is innocent too. 👍🏾👌🏾🇺🇸
