Feds Charge Trump Donor Imaad Zuberi With Hiding Work as Foreign Agent
Source: The Daily Beast
A Los Angeles financier who donated $900,000 to President Donald Trumps inaugural committee has admitted to falsifying records to hide his work as a foreign agent while he lobbied prominent U.S. government officials, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Shah Zuberi, 49, also known as Imaad Zuberi, has agreed to plead guilty to three counts in a criminal information for allegedly making almost $1 million in illegal campaign contributions, engaging in various lobbying efforts, and evading taxes, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office in the Central District of California.
Mr. Zuberis multi-faceted scheme allowed him to line his pockets by concealing the fact that he was representing foreign clients, obtaining access for clients by making a long series of illegal contributions, and skimming money paid by his clients, United States Attorney Nick Hanna said in a press release Tuesday announcing the charges.
Mr. Zuberi circumvented laws designed to insulate U.S. policy and our election process from foreign intervention.
