Congressman under investigation for ties to Russia and Venezuela"},"content":{"rendered":"

The “invitation” to Ivan Geshev for a visit to the United States, which he presented as an invitation by two congressmen to participate in the National Prayer Breakfast, comes from Congressmen Robert Aderholt and Pete Sessions. <\/strong> It is not exactly an invitation and is not at all for breakfast, but for another event – a security forum. Geshev’s participation in this forum was widely reported by the PRBs<\/a>. However, it does not say that Pete Sessions is being investigated in the United States for funding from Russia and lobbying for Venezuela.<\/p>\n

BIRD.BG also has the letter from the two congressmen, which is without address and is about an event entitled “How to counteract Russian aggression in Ukraine and China’s malign influence in Europe.” It took place yesterday, January 31 and was attended by Prime Ministers, ministers, leaders from Balkan countries and congressmen.<\/p>\n

The letter states that those wishing to attend can contact the organizer Chris Lawson and declare their desire to participate in the forum.<\/p>\n

NBC News claims that Pete Sessions is the anonymous “Congressman-1” mentioned in the indictment against businessmen with Russian roots Lev Parnassus and Igor Frumman. <\/strong> U.S. prosecutors said they “disrupted campaign funding by funneling Russian money into President Trump’s campaign.”<\/p>\n

NBC News: The Congressman identified as "Congressman-1" in the Parnas and Fruman indictment is former U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, multiple people familiar with the matter tell @valiquettejoe<\/a> and myself. @GarrettHaake<\/a> notes he is the former Republican congressman from Dallas. https:\/\/t.co\/LUltCJfe3Y<\/a><\/p>\n
