The evidence from Lev Parnas has arrived.Parnas is an indicted Soviet-born associate of President Trump's personal lawyer
Rudy Giuliani, who aided in Giuliani's campaign to pressure
Ukraine into investigating Trump's domestic rivals. He previously turned over evidence related to Trump's impeachment in compliance with a congressional subpoena. Today, House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) turned the documents over to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who will send the evidence over to the
Senate, where it could possibly be used in Trump's upcoming impeachment trial.Among the evidence provided by Parnas are handwritten notes he took during a meeting in Vienna, where he wrote that he needed to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce that Ukraine would launch an investigation tied to former Vice President
