Rudy Giuliani’s associate Lev Parnas told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow during an interview scheduled to air Wednesday that President Trump "knew exactly what was going on” with the efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate former vice president and 2020 rival Joe Biden.
Parnas made the comments in response to Maddow’s question of what was the “main inaccuracy or the main lie being told that you feel like you can correct.”
The associate responded: “That the president didn’t know what was going on. President Trump knew exactly what was going on.
“He was aware of all of my movements,” he added. “I wouldn’t do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani or the president.”
He added that Trump’s claim that he didn’t know Parnas was a lie.
The full interview will air at 9 p.m.

Nothingburger. No crime is even being alleged even if everything Parnas said is true.
Where’s the beef?
Guiliani confirmed that the letter he sent Zelensky was genuine, that he was acting on behalf of himself, NOT the President..I wouldn’t mind the GOP calling in Guiliani, so he can show everything he has learned about Burisma and the Bidens
Trump knew what? Nothing happened. Money wasn’t withheld, and even if Trump did ask for Biden to be investigated, that would be a good thing. Somebody has to hold that crook accountable.
why is this clown sharing any info in the press and essentially convicting Trump before the trial? isn’t this guy gonna give testimony?
this seems so wrong in so many ways - yet no one seems to care how unethical and way off base any of these people are.
The Democrats are stalling for time and hoping this impeachment sham will bear them political fruit! Evidence has been, and is being created as we speak!
Uh yeah, Trump knew. It’s right in the transcript. Trump said “A lot of people are asking about the Biden video where he claims he blackmailed your government. I’d like you to look into that and report any findings to the Attorney General”.
It is completely amazing to me how many people miss the point. Trump is the sitting POTUS. He has an absolute right, duty and responsibility to know about the dealings of his predecessors. Biden is the one who opened this door by bragging about a $1.2 billion blackmail of the Ukrainian government.
Trump committed no crime at all in asking Ukraine WTH was going on with all that! Trump did the absolutely correct thing in asking that the information about Biden’s admitted blackmail be forwarded to the Attorney General of the United States.
This is what happens when you have a senile 80-year old hag who represents the City of San Francisco in Congress running things who doubles as third in line to be president. Her surpassing stupidity and carelessness about what this will do to this country is appalling.
This parnas crap could open the door for guliani testimony.
Thank you for pointing that out..DUH its on the transcript..Trump should tweet again, READ THE TRANSCRIPT!!
In a way Im glad..I would LOVE to hear from Guiliani, hear what he uncovered about the Bidens, about Ukraine, about everything
This is just hyped up crap and it sure gets old.
How does the associate know that President Trump knew exactly what was going on? The word "exactly" is key.
Does the associate think that he is so important and special and unique that the President of the United States knew EXACTLY what he was doing? I think not.
Or is the associate taking advantage of his previous position to make a few bucks? Claiming that you know what is going on is someone else head is a stretch. Is this another bombshell? Ha ha! Good luck with that!
Boring
These so called bombshells/nothingburgers are going to be coming out every single day until the senate is done with the impeachment trial. I fear Trump will be convicted in the end, they wont stop until he is. If the republicans were going to seriously fight this, they would already have. I don’t know how, but we have to win this one. Otherwise the election of 2020 will be the pivot point to the end of a sovereign USA.
The head of the Executive Branch was taking care to see that the laws were faithfully executed. That’s an impeachable offense.
An impeachment about nothing.
Never mind that piffle. We want to know what Obama knew about the spying of his 17 intell agencies on the Trump campaign before and after he became president.
