The payment attracted attention because of Lev Parnas' role in helping him investigate former U.S. Vice President Biden, a contender for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 elections.

Parnas, who helped Giuliani look for dirt on Trump's political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, is a key figure in the impeachment inquiry.
