   Federal prosecutors charged Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman with campaign-finance offenses after their airport arrests. The House impeachment report separately documented that the pair helped Giuliani pursue Ukraine contacts and the removal of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. The indictment charged Parnas and Fruman, not Giuliani; their work for Giuliani connects the charged donor network to his Trump-directed Ukraine channel.
