GOP Fundraiser Accused of Illegally Lobbying Trump Administration for Millions
Former top Republican fundraiser, Elliott Broidy, testified in court about his illegal lobbying on behalf of foreign nationals to the Trump administration. Broidy admitted to conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act and was later pardoned by President Donald Trump. He is cooperating with the Justice Department in criminal cases involving Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho and his associates in the United States. Broidy described a scheme in which he stood to collect up to $75 million from Low in return for illegally using his influence in the Trump administration to ease Low’s legal woes.
