REUTERS/Leah Millis
A sealed search warrant issued by the Justice Department and obtained by ProPublica gives new details about a raid on the offices of Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy last summer. According to the warrant, the investigators were looking for records related to his dealings with foreign officials and Trump administration associates. They were searching for any ties to China, Saudi Arabia, and a Miami Beach club promoter, ProPublica reports. The raid was first reported by The Washington Post last summer. The warrant suggests the government was much more aggressive with Broidy than previously known, entering his office and removing recordsjust as it did with Trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen, the news site says. Before becoming a Trump megadonor, Broidy pleaded guilty to his role in a New York state public corruption and bribery case. The previously sealed warrant suggest investigators are now focused on conspiracy, money laundering, and violations of the law barring covert lobbying on behalf of foreign officials, ProPublica writes, adding that agents were reportedly authorized to use Broidys hands or face to unlock any devices that required fingerprint or facial scans.
