Campaign Legal Center hosted “Yes, Asking Foreign Governments for Political Favors Breaks the Law,” a conference call on foreign election interference, the president’s recent campaign finance violations, and abuses of power.
During the call, CLC experts discussed the criminal indictment of two Ukrainian-Americans for campaign finance violations, which were uncovered in a CLC complaint to the Federal Election Commission.
CLC’s complaint outlined how Soviet-born Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman laundered six-figure contributions to President Trump’s super PAC through a shell corporation.
The complaint helped trigger a series of revelations showing how the pair leveraged the access their contribution had afforded to deepen their connections with figures close to the president.
