Lev Parnas' relationship with the president might have begun years earlier than previously reported.
-Lev Parnas described himself to a foreign correspondent at the cash-bar event in midtown Manhattan as a friend of the president-elect who didnt live far from his South Florida winter home.
Parnas arrived at Trumps November 2016 election night party, which was held in a ballroom at the Midtown Hilton, with two other men in suits and their heavily made-up wives, according to a forgotten but newly relevant dispatch from the event published at the time in Le Figaro, Frances oldest daily newspaper. https://www.lefigaro.fr/elections-americaines/2016/11/09/01040-20161109ARTFIG00009-les-fans-de-trump-reunis-au-hilton.php
The Ukrainian-born businessman told the paper that a friend from his hometown of Boca Raton, Fla., had hosted several fundraising events for Trump and that his daughter had traveled around the state singing on the candidates behalf. It is not clear what friend Parnas was referring to.
We are confident, Parnas, told the newspaper, America wants a change. The newspaper described Parnas as an insurer. (Parnas co-founded a company, Fraud Guarantee, that at some point retained Giuliani as a lawyer.)

(81,709 posts)Lev Parnas, un assureur, explique qu'il est russe et vit à Boca Raton, non loin de la résidence secondaire de Trump. Son ami, qui a tenu plusieurs soirées de levée de fonds, est aussi du même endroit. Sa fille a chanté à travers toute la Floride pour promouvoir le milliardaire. «Nous sommes confiants, dit Leval, l'Amérique veut un changement.» Deux Italtiens, qui se présentent comme des fans du parti de Berlusconi, disent qu'ils ne sont pas surpris. «C'est la même veine que Silvio, l'attrait de l'outsider qui promet de changer les choses. Les Américains en ont assez», dit Germano Craia, 38 ans, qui dit soutenir Donald Trump.
