How two businessmen hustled to profit from access to Rudy Giuliani and the Trump administration
<snip>
An aborted trip to Vienna
Two weeks ago when they were arrested, Parnas and Fruman were preparing to fly to Vienna, Austria, to meet Giuliani and another key figure in the impeachment investigation, Ukraine's former prosecutor general Viktor Shokin, according to four sources familiar with their trip. Shokin is the same Ukrainian official who former Vice President Joe Biden -- along with other Western leaders -- had pushed to have removed over concerns he wasn't prosecuting corruption.
While questions in Washington swirl around Shokin's role in this controversy, Giuliani, Parnas, Fruman had specific plans for the former Ukrainian official up until the day of their arrest. According to those four sources, they told others they were headed to Vienna to help with a planned interview the next day: Shokin, they said, was scheduled to do an interview from the Austrian capital with Sean Hannity. - CNN

How deep into this scandal and how long has Sean Hannity known about Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman?

(22,671 posts)6. We all know that, it's even in this story. They were to fly to Vienna
to coordinate Shokin's interview with Sean Hannity.
Does that help answer your question? I'm just repeating what I posted above.

(7,227 posts)10. From the article...
Through a spokesperson, Hannity said that "we never reveal our sources, potential sources, or persons they may or may not request to interview. Sean Hannity takes the first amendment seriously."
Ill bet Client #3 now takes the 5th Amendment even more seriously.
