An associate of Rudy Giuliani claims Donald Trump asked him to undertake a 'secret mission' to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Sources claimed Lev Parnas, a Ukraine-born businessmen tied to President Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said he was asked by POTUS at a party in The White House last year to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens given his contacts in the country.

Parnas and Belarus-born Igor Fruman had attended the White House's annual Hanukkah party last year and were pictured with Trump, Giuliani and Vice President Mike Pence .

Parnus and Fruman had stepped away from the party to have a private meeting with the President and Giuliani, two acquaintances of Parnas told CNN.

Speaking to reporters at The White House recently, Donald Trump said of the pair: 'I don't know those gentlemen. It's possible I have a picture with them because I have a picture with everybody. 'I don't know them, I don't know about them, I don't know what to do. Maybe they were clients of Rudy, you'd have to ask Rudy.'

EDITOR’S NOTE: Parnas and Fruman have both been indicted on campaign finance charges. The indictment charges that Parnas and Fruman schemed to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors to U.S. government officials and political action committees, including a $325,000 contribution to a political action committee backing Trump.
