Any guesses to whom this might be referring? From WaPo:
The indictment also charges that Fruman and Parnas schemed to donate money to an unidentified U.S. congressman, at the same time they were asking that congressman to get the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine removed from her job.

my best guess is Marie Yovanovitch
Did the Mother Fucker pay extra to yell?

The Hill is reporting that the congressman named in the filings is actually former TX Rep. Pete Sessions.

Last night, when Rudy Giuliani told me he couldn’t get together for an interview, his reason made sense: As with many nights of late, he was due to appear on Hannity. When I suggested this evening instead, his response was a bit more curious. We would have to aim for lunch, Giuliani told me, because he was planning to fly to Vienna, Austria, at night. He didn’t offer any details beyond that.

Giuliani called me at 6:22 p.m. last night—around the same time that two of his associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were arrested at Dulles Airport while waiting to board an international flight with one-way tickets. As The Wall Street Journal reported this afternoon, the two men were bound for Vienna. The Florida businessmen, who are reported to have assisted Giuliani in his alleged efforts to investigate Joe Biden and his family ahead of the 2020 election, were charged with campaign-finance violations, with prosecutors alleging that they had conspired to funnel money from a Russian donor into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
huh.

Today’s Fresh Air was all about how the Hunter Biden story was supposed to be “Clinton emails 2.0”: Disinformation campaign started by the same right-wing think tank, meant to slowly discredit Joe Biden in the run up to 2020. But Trump heard the talking points on Fox, created a massive clusterfuck for himself, then jumped right into the center of it.
