The latest on the Trump impeachment inquiry

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — the two associates of President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani who were charged today with federal campaign finance violations — will be held in detention in Virginia until they each secure $1 million bond, a judge said. 

That was the deal prosecutors and the men's defense attorneys reached this afternoon, and the judge agreed to it, sending them back into custody until court officials can approve their paperwork. Fruman will use his residence to secure the bond, while Parnas will use a business, attorneys involved in the case said. 

Once released, they will be confined to their homes and wear GPS monitors. With approval, they can travel between the Southern District of Florida, where they live, and the Southern District of New York, where they're charged. 

They have both surrendered their US passports — which were seized from them at Dulles Airport — and were ordered by the judge to turn over all other travel documents and passports they might have.

They pair are also not allowed to discuss the case with one another —though the judge noted that would be difficult to enforce.

US attorney Geoffrey Berman said during a press conference today that the $325,000 donation Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — two Giuliani associates charged with federal campaign finance violations — made to "committee-1" in spring 2018 was "one of the largest" donations it had received.

CNN has identified that committee as America First Action. It's now chaired by Linda McMahon, the former head of the Small Business Administration who left the White House to join the super PAC this spring. 

Multiple other former administration officials also work there, including Sean Spicer and Kelly Sadler.

While Sadler issued a statement earlier today saying they moved that six-figure donation to a segregated account, they are now declining to say when they did so. The donation has not been used and “will remain in this segregated account until these matters are resolved,” the group said.

Here's Sadler's statement:

President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani had lunch with two associates just hours before their arrests, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were detained at Dulles airport outside of Washington last night. They had recently purchased one-way tickets, according to a law enforcement source.

The two men were headed to Frankfurt, Germany to connect to another flight when they were arrested, according to a law enforcement source. 

The two men were charged today with federal campaign finance violations. They are currently in custody.

Parnas and Fruman are connected to efforts to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Both men were booked into the Alexandria, Virginia jail late yesterday evening.

Reached earlier today and asked about his associates, Giuliani said, "I can't comment at this point."

US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman announced the charges against two Rudy Giuliani-linked associates who are alleged to have committed federal campaign finance violations.

Berman said this afternoon that the two men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, illegally funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign money to a US political group identified in the indictment as "Committee-1."

Berman went on to characterize the investigation as one about "corrupt behavior, deliberate law-breaking."

Some more context: Parnas and Fruman are connected to efforts to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Both men were booked into the Alexandria, Virginia jail late Wednesday evening.

Two associates of President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani were attempting to leave the country when they were detained at Dulles airport outside of Washington last night.

US prosecutors did not intend on unsealing the indictment against the Giuliani associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, according to two US officials. 

Their hand was forced when Parnas and Fruman attempted to leave the country, according to officials.

Some background: Parnas and Fruman are connected to efforts to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Both men were booked into the Alexandria, Virginia jail late Wednesday evening and are expected in court in Virginia this afternoon.

Defense attorneys who represented President Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort are helping Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman today at their initial criminal appearance.

Defense attorney Tom Zehnle is in the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, as is Kevin Downing.

Zehnle said he was just here to help out until Parnas and Fruman can get more lawyers.

Fruman and Parnas were detained at Dulles airport outside of Washington last night. Both associates are connected to efforts to dig up dirt in Ukraine on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Fruman and Parnas are associated with Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Downing declined to say anything in response to Parnas and Fruman’s indictment today, other than that the pair is still in detention.

Parnas and Fruman were also represented by John Dowd, former personal attorney to the President, in their dealings with Congress.

Rep. Xochitl Torres Small, of New Mexico, is one of the last Democrats to publicly support the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

Small published an op-ed in support of the investigation; which now leaves just six Democratic holdouts.

At least 229 House Democrats have now publicly stated their support for the impeachment inquiry into Trump, according to CNN's latest count.

The congresswoman added, "To be very clear, I have not reached judgment on the President's actions, nor on the appropriate response, but I need the facts to make these weighty decisions." 

The New Mexico Democrat is one of the House Democratic freshmen who flipped a congressional seat from red to blue in the 2018 midterm elections.

Three Democratic House Committee chairmen have now formally subpoenaed two associates of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani associates who are connected to efforts to dig up dirt in Ukraine.

Rep. Adam B. Schiff, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, and Rep. Eliot L. Engel wrote in a letter to Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman's legal counsel today that, in addition to turning over the documents they are requesting, the committees "expect your clients to appear to testify about these matters at a later date."

CNN previously reported that attorney John Dowd, who represents Parnas and Fruman, had written to the committees saying their original request for documents were overly broad and more time was needed.

Now the committees have issued subpoenas for them to turn over material by Oct. 16.

Parnas and Fruman were arrested last night on federal campaign finance charges and are expected to appear in court this afternoon.
