FILE - In this Feb. 27, 2008, file photo, Elliott Broidy poses for a photo at an event in New York. Federal prosecutors have cast a wide net in their investigation of top GOP fundraiser Broidy, probing his business dealings around the world as part of an inquiry into the Los Angeles businessman's efforts to cash in on his close connections to President Donald Trump.
A statement released to the AP by Broidy’s attorneys said that at no point did Broidy or his global security firm Circinus have a contract or exchange of money with “any Romanian government agency, proxy or agent.” It also said that while Circinus did reach an agreement with Angola in 2016 there was no connection whatsoever to the inauguration or Broidy’s role on the inaugural committee.
Broidy, a 61-year-old Los Angeles businessman, made a fortune in investments before moving into defense contracting and has played prominent roles in GOP fundraising, including as finance chairman of the Republican National Committee from 2006 to 2008 and vice chair of the Trump Victory Committee in 2016.
It also sought records related to George Nader, a Broidy associate who served as an adviser to the United Arab Emirates, provided grand jury testimony to special counsel Robert Mueller and was recently jailed on federal child pornography charges.
Are there any honest republicans? They all lie, are hypocrites, and downright unethical.
chargrille This is my surprise face. 😐
Some of these investigations are difficult to understand - does it mean during elections one disengage from their usual activities? Then it might mean democracy has unresolved conflicted interest.
sounds swampy DrainTheSwamp
LOCK HIM UP
I like it when we, the people, donate in small amounts to candidates. It leaves the presidency without obvious ownership by corporate investors who buy candidates. Perhaps this should be outlawed moving forward... no organized fundraisers. Would put power to the people.
Wasnt this reported in the NYTimes way back when it happened?
Trump's ilk!
Remember when this classy guy paid off his mistress to get an abortion?
Ask him about that porn star baby. Something fishy about that story, too.
Trump was getting his cut, believe me. Trump is for sale, and they know it. Donald Trump is compromised and a national security threat.
AP, old news. You should have been on this 2 years ago. But the media today doesn't do much investigative reporting.
its almost to the point that if anyone can find an honest GOP member it would be a major news story!
Where’s Trump’s kickback?
Does anyone believe Trump didn’t somehow receive a cut? Yeah. He got a cut. corrupt
YesMrGilbert tRump might as well put a sign on him saying 'For Sale'.

That's just wonderful ,another example of public officials taking advantage of their position
big_taff So Trump emptied the swamp all right...... Right into the White House.
Nothing says America like Angola.
Every time I see E. Broidy's name, I hear Madonna 's 'Papa Don't Preach' in my head...and this dude was connected to Liviu Dragnea too? HAHAHAHA
Creepy businessman.
Lock them all up!
This was a blatant dumb move.
Joe Biden and Clinton Supporters: “This is completely normal. Nothing to see here.” Kamala supporters: “You mean you don’t have to sleep with people to get a deal?”
Oh, naturally.
And who has Angola ties? Devin Nunes, stand up, please!!!
Will it ever stop?
There is not ONE virtuous person involved with the Trump administration. Appalling!
