“We will honor and not avoid the committee’s requests to the extent they are legally proper, while scrupulously protecting Mr Parnas’ privileges including that of the Fifth Amendment,” Joseph Bondy, Parnas's lawyer, told the news outlet.

Bondy did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.

John Dowd, Parnas’s former lawyer, told the House committees participating in the inquiry last month that the requests for his client were "overly broad and unduly burdensome."

Parnas pleaded not guilty last month to violating campaign finance laws, unrelated to the impeachment inquiry, involving donations to Republican groups including a pro-Trump super PAC. He was arrested along with Igor Fruman.
