- Story Text: Two U.S. businessmen accused of conspiring to violate campaign finance laws with former associates of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani pleaded not guilty to the charges on Thursday (October 17).
Andrey Kukushkin, 46, and David Correia, 44, entered their pleas before U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken in federal court in Manhattan.
The case also involves Ukraine-born Lev Parnas and Belarus-born Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen who have helped U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Giuliani investigate political rival Joe Biden. Prosecutors said Parnas and Fruman conspired to contribute foreign money including at least $1 million from an unidentified Russian businessman to candidates for federal and state offices to buy influence.
