Hot news: "What we DO know" about Giuliani's Ukrainian associates!

Trump says he 'doesn't know' Giuliani's Ukrainian associates. Here's what we do know

Washington (CNN)For Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, becoming powerful Republican donors didn't take very long.

With almost no record of political giving before February 2018, the two men found themselves posing for photographs with President Donald Trump and meeting for breakfast with the President's son within a few months of their first donations to GOP campaigns.

Federal prosecutors said Thursday those donations were actually funded by foreign nationals -- and that Parnas and Fruman illegally funneled the funds through a company meant to conceal its origins.

Teflon Don claimed he didn't know the two suspects and had nothing to do with their alleged crimes.
"I don't know those gentlemen. Now it's possible I have a picture with them because I have a picture with everybody, I have a picture with everybody here," Trump said, adding that someone told him there "may be" a photo with them "at a fundraiser or somewhere, but I have pictures with everybody."

What most of us know is Teflon Don lied again and trumpeters will believe him!
