Lev Parnas used pro-Trump super PAC official to forward Ukraine talking points to Trump Jr.
.
One of the new revelations in the second batch of information released to House Democrats by indicted Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas is that he apparently forwarded talking points on Ukraine to Donald Trump, Jr. using Joseph Ahearn, the director of development for pro-Trump super PAC America First Action, according to BuzzFeed News reporter Emma Loop.
Ahearn also played a role in setting up a $325,000 payment from Parnas and his partner Igor Fruman to America First Action. That payment is one of the campaign finance violations that led to Parnas and Fruman’s indictment.

Still listening to the Maddow interview with Lev Parnas. It's an "Everybody get under the bus!" extravaganza. Wow.
