Hunter Biden Attends ‘From Russia With Lev’ Screening and Q&A Featuring Rachel Maddow and Lev Parnas
Hunter Biden was in the audience at a Saturday night screening and Q&A of “From Russia with Lev.”
Asked if he ever could have imagined such a meeting would take place and director Corben joked, “I’m still not certain.” He added, “If you had told me three-and-a-half years ago this documentary would end with Lev Parnas and Hunter Biden hugging it out, I would not have bet money on that.” Corben did note that, “For better or for worse, Lev makes sort of interesting, weird things happen.” This is apparent in the film itself, which traces Parnas’ strange and often funny life as as a Russian immigrant who found himself deeply embroiled in a presidential scandal. The filmmaker had slid into Parnas’ DMs on X/Twitter and it turned out the latter was a fan of the Corben’s previous works, including “Cocaine Cowboys.” Maddow also felt Corben and Spellman were the perfect pair due to their history of “in telling very, very serious stories in the funniest way possible.” She noted, “I really believe that the best way to tell this story is to not leave the absurdity out, to not run from how freaking hilarious and ridiculous, while at the same time, it is super serious and terrible, and it has really, really deep, serious implications for national security and for a lot of people’s lives.”
