Another criminal.
Looks like Mueller is on the case.
The inauguration raised way more money than they spent, so what happened to the rest of it?Republican Lobbyist Steered Foreign Money to Trump’s Inaugural Committee
A Republican lobbyist pleaded guilty on Friday to running an illegal foreign lobbying campaign, admitting in a plea agreement that he helped steer illicit foreign contributions to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee.
Sam Patten was charged with violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, stemming from undisclosed work on behalf of a Ukrainian political party.
The charges were referred to the U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian influence in the 2016 election.
The indictment was first reported by Bloomberg. Shortly after, it was reported that he would plead guilty.
Though charges were not brought by Mueller directly, Patten has agreed to cooperate with the special counsel’s investigation as part of his plea agreement.
