(Bloomberg): Fugitive Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho and a former member of hip-hop trio the Fugees were accused in a new indictment of illegally lobbying the Trump administration to drop an investigation tied to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) global bribery scandal and remove a Chinese dissident from the United States.
