Quick Glance: Parnas Accuses GOP Representative During Hearing of Working on Behalf of Russia
  • Lev Parnas, a former aide to Rudy Giuliani who was convicted, named members of Congress on Wednesday whom he claimed were acting on behalf of Russia by attempting to uncover 'dirt' on President Biden during his 2020 campaign.

  • During a GOP-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing titled 'Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office,' Parnas identified Sen. Ron Johnson (Republican from Wisconsin) and Rep. Pete Sessions (Republican from Texas) as collaborators in their efforts during his testimony.

  • The accusation arose in response to ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (Democrat from Maryland), inquiring how Parnas and Giuliani managed to promote and amplify 'these false allegations, peddled by corrupt officials and Russian agents, here in the United States, in our political system.'

  • Parnas, selected as a witness by the Democrats, was indicted on fraud and campaign finance crimes, receiving a 20-month prison sentence in 2022. Since his release last September, Parnas has opposed Republican attempts to disseminate the narrative that President Biden's actions in Ukraine were to benefit his son, Hunter Biden.

Quick Glance: Brazil: Bolsonaro Faces Charges for Suspected Vaccine Data Manipulation
  • Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been officially accused of tampering with his COVID-19 vaccination records, marking the first charge against the controversial far-right leader, with potential additional allegations.

  • The federal police indictment, disclosed by the Supreme Court, alleges that Bolsonaro and 16 others were involved in falsifying information within a public health database to give the impression that the former president, his 12-year-old daughter, and select individuals in his close circle had been administered the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • Throughout the inquiry, numerous deceptive entries were identified between November 2021 and December 2022, alongside instances of utilizing forged documentation.

  • Asserting innocence, Bolsonaro could potentially face a sentence ranging from two to 12 years if found guilty of manipulating health data.
