The indictment, packed with allegations of political donations secretly made for the benefit of foreign interests, adds to the growing legal and political pressure on President Trump and his attorney as they try to fend off Democrats impeachment efforts.

Prosecutors say Fruman and Parnas schemed to donate money to an unidentified U.S. congressman, at the same time they were asking that congressman to get the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine removed from her job.
Political donations to the congressman and other details described in the indictment match former Texas Republican Pete Sessions, who lost his reelection bid last year. A spokesman for Sessions did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

What has Pete Sessions been up to since he was defeated in his election?
