DOJ prosecutors asked to speak to Lisa Korbatov who helped broker deal w/Broidy’s firm, a businessman & Angolan govt

Korbatov's parents transferred deed on CA home to scam artist who appeared to give Trump mansion for $0. Trump sold the house for $9.5 mil
Prosecutors indicted ex-Fugees rapper Pras Michel on campaign-finance charge - alleged millions $ went from Michel to Broidy

Broidy probe grew from multibillion 1MDB scandal run by Jho Low who paid Broidy & his wife $6mil+ to get DOJ to drop investigation

Broidy worked on behalf of the UAE and advocated for their interests w/Trump and WH officials, along with George Nader who is now in federal custody on child-pornography charges - Broidy's company later got $200 million in contracts from the UAE

The Trump swamp doesn't get much swampier than Elliott Broidy - who in 2017 served as co-chair of the RNC finance committee w/Michael Cohen (now in jail) & Steve Wynn (hit with sexual misconduct allegations)

David Boies who now represents 7 clients against Jeffrey Epstein previously represented Harvey Weinstein (& hired Black Cube to discredit Weinstein's accusers), and along with partners at his law firm contributed over $180K in the past decade to support the career of Cy Vance 🤔
It's so disheartening to see the fates of these women continue to fall into the hands of the same circle of powerful men
Source for the $180K donations from Boies/partner to Vance (link in tweet below)
