WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lev Parnas, an indicted businessman who says he worked to pressure Ukraine to investigate one of President Donald Trump's political rivals, travelled to Washington to press the Senate to allow him to testify in Trump's impeachment trial, only to be turned away at the U.S. Capitol.

Trailed by TV cameras, bullhorn-wielding protesters and a sign that read "FAIR TRIAL," Parnas posed for selfies as he walked from Union Station to the U.S. Capitol building.
