As for funding Parnas in Ukraine, Sargeant claims he agreed to loan a friend some money because Parnas claimed to be “broke.”
WhatsApp messages between the two seem to support this. During one exchange, Parnas asked Sargeant to approve more money and Sargeant commented “Just getting expensive flying u guys everywhere LEV.”
During another exchange in which Parnas asked Sargeant to approve yet another expense, Parnas also says, “we got a deal from Rudy’s guy.”
Sargeant responds, “Don’t bother w this stuff pls.”
