A federal judge overseeing the campaign finance trial of Lev Parnas said he would likely question prospective jurors about former President Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani as their names and images are likely to be mentioned during the three-week trial.

Judge Paul Oetken said he will compile a list of questions for prospective jurors and include the former President and Giuliani to weed out any jurors with strong feels about the New York businessman-turned-president and New York's one time mayor and US attorney in Manhattan who might not be able to set aside their political views in judging the case.

He said lots of pictures of Parnas and Fruman with Trump and Giuliani were sent to Kukushkin in a "name dropping, look how influential we are" kind of way.Joseph Bondy, a lawyer for Parnas, said the names may come up more frequently."At a certain point in time Parnas began to travel with Giuliani, not only to GOP events but also internationally with respect to some of his other endeavors.
