Lev Parnas has been photographed with many, many high-profile members of the Trump administration, the Trump family, and the Republican Party

Photo: @josephabondy Republicans have spent months distancing themselves from Lev Parnas, the indicted businessman who worked with Rudy Gilulini to carry out President Trump’s scheme to pressure Ukraine to investigate his domestic political opponents.
“I don’t know those gentlemen,” President Trump said last October after Parnas and his partner Igor Fruman were arrested as they attempted to flea that U.S. The claim quickly proved preposterous. Trump had personally met with Fruman and Parnas at least 10 times, CNN reported, and many of those encounters were memorialized in photo form.
On MSNBC Wednesday, Parnas told Rachel Maddow that Trump’s claims about not knowing him and Fruman are absurd. “He knew exactly who we were. He knew exactly who I was especially because I interacted with him at a lot of events,” Parnas said. On CNN Thursday, he added that if Trump continues denying their relationship he’ll continue releasing new pictures of them together.
Trump is far from the only powerful Republican to have said “cheese” with Parnas, who has amassed an impressive collection of pictures with high-profile members of the Trump administration, the Trump family, and the GOP. Here is the public portion of that collection, showing Parnas with: White House Adviser Kellyanne Conway Mike Huckabee White House Advisers Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy Vice President Mike Pence Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci Eric Trump President Donald Trump Donald Trump Jr. House Republican Whip Steve Scalise
