Bondy said"evidence has been brought to light" linking Barr to not only Giuliani, but other prominent GOP lawyers, including Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova, which he said creates a"public appearance of a conflict of interest.”He argued that"actual harm" was done to his client, because of perceived"delays in the production of discovery in his federal case.
Parnas' attorney also said prosecutors"refused" to meet with Parnas so he could give them the information he had on Trump, Giuliani, Toensing, diGenova and"others."The prosecution in a court paper on Tuesday afternoon dismissed the idea that the government"purposefully delayed" discovery to the defendant, writing,"uch a suggestion is baseless and completely belied by the facts.
