Federal prosecutors are preparing to charge longtime GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy in connection with efforts to influence the U.S. government on behalf of foreign interests, according to people familiar with the matter, a result of a sprawling, years-long investigation that involved a figure who helped raise millions for Donald Trump’s election and the Republican Party.As the story goes on to explain, the Chinese dissident is the billionaire who was hosting Steve Bannon on his yacht when Bannon was scooped up by the Feds for wire fraud.
Broidy is under scrutiny for his alleged role in a campaign to persuade high-level Trump administration officials to drop an investigation of Malaysian government corruption, as well as for his attempt to push for the extradition of an outspoken Chinese dissident back to his home country, according to the people, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation.
Doing the bidding of foreign governments, including those who are hostile to this country, seems to be a thing with Republicans these days.

All of the RNC finance chairs have been either taken down by sex scandals, indicted, or in one case both, with the exception of the one who is currently postmaster general.
