During those raids, agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation allegedly came across a recorded phone conversation between Cohen and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a one-time adviser to Melania Trump.

📌The improper diversion of funds from a non-profit–which is the corporate form chosen by the inaugural committee members–would also violate the federal law concerning non-profits.

📌Broidy’s office was raided during the summer of 2018 over suspicions that the former Republican National Committee chair may have been involved in conspiracy, money laundering and foreign lobbying violations.

At issue during that raid were Broidy’s overseas activity in China and Saudi Arabia–as well as his relationship with a Miami Beach club promoter and admitted tax scofflaw.
