Elliott Broidy, an ally of President Donald Trump who was previously the national deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, was part of an investigation into whether he tried to sell access to the president.
Federal authorities raided the Los Angeles office of longtime Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy last year as part of an investigation into whether he attempted to influence U.S. policy on behalf of foreigners, according to a search warrant obtained by the investigative reporting organization ProPublica.
Elliot Broidy poses with real estate investor Fred Sands at a dinner for the Fred Sands Institute Of Real Estate on June 24, 2015 in Beverly Hills, California. Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Low had made transfers of about $1.5 million to the Hawaii-based investment firm LNS Capital, which is co-owned by a U.S. citizen named Larry Davis. The American allegedly made the $100,000 donation to the pro-Trump committee just months after receiving the transfers from Low.
The law was not well known or well enforced before Trump’s election in 2016, but it has attracted renewed interest after a handful of Trump campaign associates were prosecuted for violating FARA law. Former Trump associates have admitted to being unregistered agents of both Ukraine and Turkey.
