and Giuliani, distancing himself through the steady release of information damaging to the President. That was a sharp turn from Parnas' previous devotion to Trump."I mean, when the FBI came to my house to raid, my wife felt embarrassed because they said I had a shrine to him. I had pictures all over. I idolized him. I thought he was the savior," he recalled, later adding that his 5-year-old son voted for Trump in school.
The first, he recalled, was during an early 2019 meeting with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, in which Poroshenko was told that if he announced an inquiry regarding the Bidens and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma — where Hunter Biden was a board member —"Trump would either invite him to the White House or make a statement for him, but basically would start supporting him for president.
"I told them, very strict and stern, that several things: A. That he needed — Zelensky needed to immediately make an announcement literally that night or within the next 24 hours that they were opening an investigation on Biden," Parnas recalled. He also told the aide that the Ukrainians needed to"get rid of certain individuals that are enemies of the president in his administration.
He continued, referencing the possibility of Pence attending Zelensky's upcoming inauguration:"It was no specific military, there was no aid that would be assisted. There was going to be no inauguration, Pence wouldn't be at the inauguration. And there would be no visit to the White House. They would basically have no communication."
