Ron Johnson did Russia's 'bidding' on Biden, ex-Giuliani figure Lev Parnas tells Congress.
A former associate of ex-Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday accused Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson of “doing the bidding” of Russia in his attempts to find evidence of corruption linked to the Biden family.
Lev Parnas, who worked with Giuliani to dig up damaging information in Ukraine on Joe Biden and his son Hunter in the runup to the 2020 election, mentioned the Oshkosh Republican as he described to the House Oversight Committee efforts from Donald Trump and allies to “manipulate the public” with unvetted information about the Bidens.
Parnas told the panel that Donald Trump, Giuliani and “various cohorts of individuals in government and media positions” lied to the public. He said accusations of Biden’s corruption “were untrue then, and they’re untrue now.”
“Congressman Pete Sessions, then-Congressman Devin Nunes, Sen. Ron Johnson and many others understood they were pushing a false narrative,” Parnas testified. He referenced right-wing media personalities and Fox News for using “this narrative to manipulate the public ahead of the 2020 election.”
"Sen. Ron Johnson was our guy in the Senate," Parnas said later in the hearing. "It was told to me that when we push the information, he's gonna push it in the halls of Congress."
This has been going on since Republicans took the House. It is looking more and more like a fake probe that's turning into a big joke.
