PETALING JAYA: The United States Department of Justice (DoJ) is investigating whether longtime Republican party fundraiser Elliott Broidy sought to sell his influence with the Trump administration by offering to deliver US government actions for foreign officials in exchange for tens of millions of dollars, according to three people familiar with the probe.
According to The Washington Post, the DoJ is investigating claims that Broidy sought US$75mil (RM307mil) from a Malaysian business official if DoJ ended its investigation into 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
