Lev Parnas, a key figure in the Ukraine scandal, has warned Republicans in the House Oversight Committee that they will never find any evidence of wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden. In a 10-page letter, Parnas outlined his own efforts to seek negative information about the Bidens from Ukrainian sources and said he had not found any evidence of criminal activity.
