Justice Dept investigating GOP donor for allegedly offering Trump admin actions in exchange for payments: report
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 08/17/18 06:51 PM EDT


Elliot Broidy, a longtime GOP fundraiser and former Republican National Committee (RNC) official, is reportedly under investigation for allegedly offering Trump administration actions for tens of millions of dollars, The Washington Post reported Friday.

Sources familiar with the investigation told The Post that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is examining a plan allegedly created by Broidy to try and convince Trump officials to extradite a Chinese dissident.

Prosecutors are also reportedly looking at claims that Broidy wanted $75 million from a Malaysian business official if a DOJ probe into a Malaysian government-run development fund was ended.


A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment to The Post, as did Christopher Clark, an attorney for Broidy.
