Lev Parnas arrived at the impeachment trial moments ago after being given tickets to attend by Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer.
However, when he arrived he was denied entry to the building due to his ankle monitor.
Parnas did manage to speak to press where he claimed “Trumpworld is like a cult” with a lot of Senators being members.
WATCH:
DailyCaller reports Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday gave American businessman Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, tickets to attend the Senate impeachment trial, however, he was not allowed in due to the electronic ankle monitor on his ankle.
Parnas is under indictment in New York on campaign finance-related charges and is currently wearing an electronic ankle monitor, so he can be tracked. The rules of the Senate’s impeachment trial state that no electronics of any kind can be brought into the Senate chamber, leaving Parnas outside.
