Two associates of Rudy Giuliani made their initial appearance before a federal judge on Thursday, less than 24 hours after they were arrested on campaign finance violations while trying to board an international flight with one-way tickets at Dulles International Airport outside of Washington D.C.
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman appeared in federal court in Alexandria, Va. to face a four-count indictment alleging that they, along with two other co-defendants, conspired to violate a ban on foreign donations and contributions in connection with federal and state elections.
The two men remained mostly silent during their appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Nachmanoff, who set their bond at $1 million each. Nachmanoff said he was reluctant to agree to a bond package but noted the mens' defense team and the government had agreed on it.
Terms of bond included $1 million per suspect and the surrender of passports and all other travel documents, as well as travel restricted to the Southern District of Florida and Southern District of New York. They also will be subject to home detention and GPS monitoring, according to the agreement.
Both Parnas and Fruman are expected to remain in custody for at least the remainder of the day, until the terms of the bond are met.

Just heard on OAN, that these two men have been US citizens for years. Left wants us to think they are Russian Secret Police.
This is going to be another empty-roll burger.
“conspired to violate a ban on foreign donations and contributions in connection with federal and state elections.”
If this is an issue, I suggest the Attorney General have a task force look into the source of contributions coming from outside the country in the 2008 presidential election.
They were arrested because they helped Rudy gather docs in Ukraine. This is pretty strong evidence the FBI is still spying on POTUS and his team.
The War is heating up.
Rudy was on TV every night, until this news broke.
I doubt he will be on TV anytime soon answering
any questions.
What makes you think Rudy is up to anything? The Fake News blares out that they were “associates” of his and you jump the chum that draws the shark?
probably coming from Hamas and Palestinians, or possibly cartel donations through illegal mules, the prepaid card thing effectively conceals the nationality of the donors.
