The men got access to the top levels of the Republican Party, including meetings with Mr Trump at the White House and in Florida

Case documents claim they were trying to"hide from creditors that they had access to funding, and to conceal from the public and the FEC their involvement in making these contributions".

Prosecutors say they tried to get the help of an unnamed congressman to convince the US government to remove the former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.The May 2018 transfer was part of a two-month flurry of political donations connected to the pair, with at least $478,000 going to Republican campaigns and groups.

Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Mr Trump, said neither the president nor his campaign was aware of the alleged scheme.
