On Monday, MSNBC Films announced that host Rachel Maddow will debut "From Russia With Lev," a documentary she executive produced highlighting Lev Parnas, a former associate of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. In 2020, Parnas was indicted on campaign finance charges and subsequently turned over documents contradicting claims made by Trump and his legal team to investigators in the House of Representatives.
The film will makes its premiere on Sept. 7 at MSNBC Live: Democracy 2024 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "From Russia With Lev" traces the role of Ukrainian-born Parnas' dealings with the former president, pulling back the curtain on the scheme that led to Trump's impeachment. Using more than 30 hours of interview footage and a trove of photos, documents and recordings, the film traces how Parnas "reveals the ham-handed workings of the furtive campaign to dredge up false but damaging allegations against then-candidate Joe Biden," presenting "a view of former President Trump that is unfiltered and unavailable anywhere else," per a press release.
