Parnas Atty writes to AG Barr requesting he recuse from the Parnas investigation



Tom Winter ✔ @Tom_Winter

NEW: Lev Parnas' attorney has written to Attorney General William Barr requesting that the AG recuse himself from the Parnas investigation and prosecution and asks for the appointment of a special prosecutor, according to a court filing.


Tom Winter ✔ @Tom_Winter

MORE: The letter from Parnas' attorney to Barr was apparently faxed today.

The letter says that discovery being returned to Parnas was delayed by prosecutors in NY but doesn't say that some of that discovery was delayed because Parnas' phone was locked.

On edit: Here's the letter from Bondy:



Joseph A. Bondy @josephabondy

We’ve asked Attorney General Bill Barr @TheJusticeDept to recuse himself from Lev Parnas’s investigation & prosecution, and for the appointment of a special prosecutor. Here’s a copy, w/o exhibits, by me and co-counsel Stephanie Schuman, Esq. @LeafLegal #LevRemembers #LetLevSpeak
