Giuliani associate embroiled in Trump Ukraine drama raised money for DeSantis campaign
A Soviet-born businessman who helped President Donald Trumps personal attorney dig for dirt in Ukraine on his political opponents also helped raise significant sums of money last year for Ron DeSantis as he campaigned to become Floridas governor.
Lev Parnas, one of two South Florida businessmen called to testify before Congress as part of an impeachment investigation, hosted two fundraisers for DeSantis in the summer and fall of 2018, the Miami Herald has learned. One of the events was an exclusive affair held at a South Florida residence with fewer than 30 people attending, including the governor. The other gathering was headlined by Donald Trump Jr.
A DeSantis spokeswoman told the Miami Herald Wednesday that the governor has had little to no contact with Parnas or Igor Fruman, both of whom worked as unofficial emissaries in Ukraine this year for Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.
It is my understanding that the governor did not have a one-on-one meeting with these individuals, DeSantis spokeswoman Helen Ferré wrote Tuesday in response to questions about DeSantis relationship with Parnas and Fruman. They may have attended some large events related to the 2018 elections.

This is sweeter than coffee ice-cream with stewed (IM)peach(es) with rum.

isn't it funny how, all of these people seem to have no clue about anything?
Pence flies to Ukraine but didn't know that conversation was about Biden! Plus, he never bothered to look at the briefing materials during a lengthy flight! Donnie says it was a perfect call but insists he did nothing wrong! In his confirmation when Kamala asked if anyone had ever suggested that he open any kind of investigation on anyone but he couldn't remember! yeah, right!!
It's ridiculous that the top officials don't know anything about anything! Just like when his attorneys said that a president can't be investigated since he can't be indicted! Even school children know these arguments are ludicrous!
