House Democrats on the Oversight Committee have selected Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, to be their witness at the panel’s hearing on Wednesday. Parnas, a Ukrainian-American, worked with Giuliani in an attempt to uncover damaging information about Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in Ukraine. Parnas was sentenced to 20 months in prison for convictions on campaign finance, wire fraud, and false statements.
Republicans had initially embraced the information Parnas provided but he has since discredited it as nonsense. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland stated that Parnas can debunk the claims at the heart of the impeachment probe and shed light on the GOP's current situation.
