Rudy Giuliani attended late President George H.W. Bush’s funeral last year with one of his associates who was hit with criminal charges last week.

A photo of Giuliani at the funeral, first flagged by BuzzFeed News, shows that the Trump lawyer arrived at the state funeral in D.C. with Lev Parnas, who was indicted on campaign finance violations.

Jeb Bush told BuzzFeed News that Parnas hadn’t been invited.

“Rudy was and it is likely that he was Rudy’s guest,” he said. “Disappointing.”

Reporter Aubrey Belford noted that Igor Fruman, the other Giuliani associate who was indicted with Parnas, also seemed to be present at the funeral, though it’s unclear whether he came as Giuliani’s guest.

  1. Got no brief for Bush Sr or Jr but this is an obscenity. Giuliani–like Trump–defiles anything in which this nation could ever once have taken pride.

  2. Hey, What’s Up? Are you looking for class or any self awareness?

    It’s time to stop being amazed at this crap and start pushing back.

    With everyone you know. We are being ‘controlled’ by traitors and we need to FIGHT BACK!

    No Mas!

  3. In all fairness, Rudy’s a funeral groupie.

    Interments, cremations, burials at sea – he loves 'em all.

    More often than not, he scores back-stage passes to the embalming.

    (You should see his urn collection!)
