Fourth man allegedly involved in Ukrainian campaign finance scheme in custody
From CNN's Kara Scannell
David Correia, one of the four men charged last week in the alleged campaign finance scheme, is in FBI custody, according to a spokesman for the US attorney’s office in Manhattan.
Correia was taken into custody this morning after landing on a flight at John F. Kennedy airport. Correia, Igor Fruman, Lev Parnas and Andrey Kukushkin are due in court Thursday for their arraignment.
Some context: Last week Fruman and Parnas, two associates of Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, were arrested and indicted for allegedly funneling foreign money into U.S. elections. Correia and Kukushkin, two American citizens described as "businessmen" in the indictment, were charged for their involvement in the same scheme.
Coming up: Parnas and Fruman face a subpoena deadline today for documents related to communications with the White House, Ukrainian officials and Giuliani.
Parnas and Fruman introduced Giuliani to Ukrainian officials who pushed unfounded theories about corruption involving former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
