New details appear to reveal a much more substantial relationship than previously known between one of Rudy Giuliani's indicted associates and a prominent Ukrainian oligarch
This summer, Parnas told potential business associates that his company began receiving payments from the oligarch, Dmytro Firtash, who is living in Austria while fighting bribery charges in the US, the sources told CNN. Parnas also told these people he met with Firtash several times over the summer while in Vienna.
Toensing and diGenova joined Firtash's legal team and, they later met personally with Barr and other Justice Department officials, where they asked for the criminal case against Firtash to be dropped. The Washington Post was first to report the meeting, and that Barr declined to get involved. A Justice Department official confirmed to CNN that the meeting occurred, and that diGenova and Toensing's request was rejected. A spokesman for diGenova and Toensing declined to comment.
