Two associates of Rudy Giuliani entered not guilty pleas today to a federal indictment accusing them of funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign money into U.S. elections, including a pro-Trump super PAC

NEW YORK — Two associates of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani entered not guilty pleas Wednesday to a federal indictment accusing them of funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign money into U.S. elections, including a pro-Trump super PAC.

In addition, at least one witness has publicly said he was interviewed by the FBI earlier this year as part of what appeared to be a counterintelligence probe of potential efforts by foreign actors to influence U.S. policy. There have been no signs yet that Parnas and Fruman are seeking to cooperate with prosecutors, although lawyers tracking the case say prosecutors are likely to pressure the men to detail what Giuliani knew about the alleged foreign donation scheme, their ties to officials in Ukraine and their foreign funding.

MacMahon urged that prosecutors used a so-called “taint team” to filter out privileged information. He also said the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel or the White House counsel’s office may have to get involved. Oetken said he wasn’t going to wade into that question Wednesday but would get involved if needed. “If there’s a particular application you want to make, I’m all ears,” the judge said.
