Former top Trump fundraiser Elliott Broidy is now pleading guilty to participating in a conspiracy to violate FARA by concealing from the US gov his lobbying on behalf of Jho Low, the alleged architect of the looting of a Malaysian state fund, 1MDB. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/10/elliott-broidy-former-top-trump-fundraiser-will-plead-guilty-to-violating-foreign-lobbying-law/
This is occurring on a connection so bad that it substantially undermines federal courts' stated goal of ensuring that "the public and media may listen to teleconference and videoconference hearings, free of charge," under authority provided by the...CARES ACT."
Broidy is also admitting that at least in part in exchange for payments from Jho Low, he also lobbied the Trump administration and Trump personally, to extradite Guo Wengui, a wealthy critic of the Chinese government, to China, where he faces charges. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/elliott-broidy-rick-gates-china-malaysia/
Broidy admits that in May 2017, he traveled to Hong Kong and then Shenzhen, China, where he met with Low and a Chinese official (Sun Lijun, then China’s vice minister of public security) regarding Guo's extradition.
