Say, remember that big oaf who texted Lev about Marie Yovanovitch??
NEW: Five more criminal cases opened against Robert Hyde, a GOP candidate who drew headlines during the impeachment saga.Prosecutors want to revoke his bail in April on stalking allegations.
MALDEN, Mass. (CN) — Opening five new criminal cases against a key figure from the impeachment saga, prosecutors asked a judge to keep Republican congressional candidate Robert Hyde behind bars ahead of his trial on stalking allegations.
“I would say it’s a danger to the well-being of the victim,” Assistant District Attorney Gina Del Rio Gazzo said in court Friday, referring to Hyde’s conduct on bail. “It’s a danger to her feeling of safety. … It’s putting her in fear.”
In the suit he wore to court Friday, Robert Hyde took a video of himself doing 22 push-ups for an internet challenge. The long-shot congressional candidate could have his bail revoked in a stalking case.
Running for Congress in Connecticut over the objections of the state Republican Party, Hyde first drew national headlines as the man whose encrypted chats with Rudy Giuliani’s now-indicted associate Lev Parnas appeared to track the movements of Marie Yovanovitch, the ousted U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. The House Intelligence Committee released those WhatsApp messages during the height President Donald Trump’s Senate trial, but a parallel drama involving Hyde’s interactions with another woman received little attention at the time.
“I’ve never been convicted of anything in my life,” Hyde said in a phone interview Thursday, commenting on his expanding legal troubles and public visibility.
