– Rudy Giuliani’s former assistant has been hit with more fraud charges. The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York says Lev Parnas and David Correia have been charged with defrauding investors in an insurance company they operated, Reuters reports. The charges stem from Parnas and Correia’s efforts to raise funds for “Fraud Guarantee,” a company they claimed would protect investors from fraud. Prosecutors say Parnas and Correia “misled investors as to what would be done with their money.” Parnas was already facing campaign finance charges.
