On Wednesday, the MSNBC cable network aired an explosive interview with Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani. In that interview, Parnas placed Trump directly the center of the Ukraine scandal that has led to his impeachment and Senate trial, which opens on Tuesday. Parnas, took part in carrying out the reported pressure campaign against Ukraine, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that Trump, “knew exactly what was going on. He was aware of all my movements.”
On Thursday, Trump responded to Parnas — by flatly denying that he knows the man.
“I don’t believe I’ve ever spoken to him,” Trump said during an exchange with reporters at the White House, as quoted by USA Today. Trump acknowledged that photographs of himself with Parnas existed, but dismissed their significance, saying, “I meet thousands and thousands of people” and “take thousands of pictures.”
