Two Giuliani Ukraine Associates Arrested On Campaign Finance Charges | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC In this noteworthy MSNBC segment, hosts Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle report on the arrest of two foreign businessmen, linked to Rudy Giuliani, who have been implicated in campaign finance violations. The arrests occurred at Dulles Airport as part of an ongoing investigation into their role in efforts to investigate Joe Biden while contributing to pro-Trump causes.
Key Highlights:
- The two individuals are described as having business connections to Giuliani. They were taken into custody based on sealed documents from the U.S. Attorney's Office for Manhattan, which are expected to reveal detailed charges against them soon.
- They have financially supported various Republican candidates, including the Trump campaign and affiliated Super PACs, raising concerns about legality regarding foreign contributions to political campaigns, as it is prohibited for foreign nationals to finance U.S. campaigns.
- Reports indicate their involvement in discussions regarding issues in Ukraine and their reservations about the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
- This incident marks another chapter in the controversies surrounding Giuliani's activities in Ukraine, particularly during the Trump administration and the impeachment inquiry concerning Biden.
