Lev Parnas says that the silence from Trumpworld after he was arrested made him feel betrayed. “I felt like my family left me,” he said.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Lev Parnas—an ex-associate of Rudy Giuliani’s who’s at the heart of the impeachment scandal—said he’s determined to keep speaking out about his work in Trumpworld on Ukraine despite the backlash.
