CT GOP Donor Gives Maddow Exclusive Interview.

Rudolph Giuliani crony Lev Parnas was the big get of the week and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow got him. Parnas told Maddow that he delivered the message to Ukraine that American support would be withheld unless the new government announced an investigation into into Hunter Biden’s lucrative business dealings in the nation under attack by Russia.

The Parnas interview undermines the Trump defense that Ukraine’s newly elected president did not know that American military assistance was being held hostage to Trump’s demand for a political favor to advance his prospects against rival Joe Biden

Parnas was a prolific donor to Republican committees late in the 2016 campaign, including $661 to Connecticut Republicans.
