When Giuliani's Associates Faced Scrutiny, They Turned To A Major Trump Ally For Help
with federal elections officials, claiming the money was funneled through a company to conceal the true origin of the funds. Almost immediately, the super PAC's leaders appeared to rally around Parnas and Fruman.
One of those board members, Tommy Hicks Jr., was no stranger to Parnas and Fruman. He had previously joined the men for a breakfast along with Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel.Two days after Walsh’s email, Surabian got a text from a fellow operative who he declined to identify publicly asking him to take the pair on as clients, according to communications reviewed by BuzzFeed News.
For that work, Parnas and Fruman paid Belmont Strategies $25,000, according to bank records obtained by BuzzFeed News — but only after Surabian spent more than two months chasing them for payment, the communications show. On the same day Fruman allegedly received the money from the Russian national, he sent $263,000 to Global Energy Producers — which used the money to pay Surabian, the records show. The documents obtained by BuzzFeed News do not suggest that Surabian was aware of the money’s possible origins.
