In October 2019, four people in the United States were suspected of conspiring to fund a campaign by the propaganda committee that supports Donald Trump.
As NBC reported, two businessmen were arrested in this case: Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas, who collaborated with Trump's lawyer Rudi Giuliani. In the same month, the Associated Press noted that three businessmen, including Parnassus and Furman, as well as Harry Sargiant III, were planning the removal of Andrei Kobolev from the post of head of Naftogaz and his further replacement with Andrei Favorov.
In January, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadim Pristayko said he did not believe the words of Lev Parnassus about contacts between the United States and Ukraine, which served as the reason for the start of the Trump impeachment procedure.
