Trump campaign: Federal prosecutors investigating large donation made by real estate mogul
An investigation into the finances of Donald Trump’s inaugural committee has drawn attention and scrutiny to a massive donation of $1m (£790,000).
Real estate mogul Franklin Haney, a known political donor, gave the hefty sum to Mr Trump at the same time that the developer was seeking approval and government support in purchasing the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant, which lies unfinished in Alabama.
Mr Haney, two years later, has yet to close the deal.
His donation to Mr Trump’s inaugural committee is being investigated by federal prosecutors in New York, whose search is focused, in part, on if those who handed cash to the committee received any benefits in return.
Prosecutors also are exploring if foreign nationals unlawfully donated funds to the committee. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan issued a subpoena last year demanding an array of financial records, including any “communications regarding or relating to the possibility of donations by foreign nationals.”

I had forgot that the inaugural committee investigation was not finished.
Even though I would expect 'some' hanky panky here, I don't think they will make much stick in court.
The methods have been used by many over the years and I don't doubt donalds may be more severe, it's just hard to prove the 'favors' in return. So it stinks when you smell it, and that is about it.
