WASHINGTON _ Rep. Devin Nunes on Wednesday publicly acknowledged for the first time that he spoke with Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani who allegedly helped carry out President Donald Trump's campaign to pressure the Ukrainian government for investigations that would benefit Trump's reelection.
Nunes, R-Calif., was first connected to Parnas six weeks ago, when a House investigation published phone records showing that Nunes spoke with Parnas and with Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney. Nunes initially said he did not recall the conversation with Parnas.
This week, Nunes said in an interview on Fox News that he remembered the call.
