Donor who gave $900,000 to Trump's inaugural committee to plead guilty to foreign lobbying, other chargesWASHINGTON — A venture capitalist who donated $900,000 to President Donald Trump's inaugural committee is admitting to several charges, including hiding his work as foreign agent while lobbying U.S. government officials and making illegal campaign contributions, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Zuberi, 49, of California, will plead guilty to submitting false statements to the Justice Department about his foreign lobbying efforts, tax evasion and campaign finance violation. He faces up to 15 years in prison. Individuals and companies that work for foreign governments are required to register their activities with the Justice Department.
From 2011 to 2017, Zuberi contributed more than $3 million to federal and state campaigns from both parties, according to court records. In relation to the foreign agent charge, prosecutors say Zuberi submitted false documents to hide his lobbying efforts for Sri Lanka and the millions of dollars he received from the country.
Just more evidence of realDonaldTrump involvement with shady money.
