Long Island personal injury attorney Charles Gucciardo gave Giuliani Partners $500,000 In September 2018, structured as a loan to Fraud Guarantee - a sham company set up by Giuliani’s former collaborator in Ukraine disinformation, Lev Parnas. Christianné Allen, Rudy Giuliani's former spokesperson, interned for Gucciardo in 2016, spoke with him at an October 2016 Moms 4 Trump event at the ex-president’s D.C. hotel, and has maintained a friendship with him since. She formally joined Giuliani's team in August 2019.
