The newly released records also include two pictures of Parnas posing next to Trump as well as a series of photographs showing Giuliani in various social settings including on a boat, at a baseball game and on a golf course.

Democrats in charge of the House Intelligence Committee turned the materials over to the Judiciary panel to include them in the record to be sent to the Senate, which is expected to begin its trial of Trump in earnest on Tuesday.

"The documents provided today were part of large trove of documents and materials, including additional text messages and photos, produced to the Intelligence Committee by Lev Parnas in the last week pursuant to an October 10, 2019 subpoena. The Committee’s review of these materials is ongoing," a Democratic official working on the impeachment trial said in a statement.

The White House has pushed back on Parnas's claims and Trump himself on Thursday denied knowing the businessman beyond posing for a photo with him.

"I don't even know who this man is, other than I guess he attended fundraisers so I take a picture with him," Trump told reporters at an Oval Office event. "I take thousands and thousand of pictures with people all the time. Thousands during the course of a year."
