Putin-Linked Lobbyist Donated Over $500K to Democrats, Earned Cash from Russian State Investment Fund.

The trustee in question had donated over half a million dollars to Democratic Party causes, with money earned from Russia lobbying.


The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) – a sovereign wealth fund established while Vladimir Putin was Prime Minister – was the recent target of sanctions from the Biden White House following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Federal election records also reveal that Raffaelli has donated hundreds of times to Democratic campaigns, including to candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, totaling over $500,000.

“Campaign work includes: 1992 Clinton for President campaign; 1996 Clinton-Gore national finance committee; and Vice Chair of the Kerry for President campaign national finance committee,” notes the lobbyist’s professional bio.
