Trump moneyman’s shady history

The sleaze just doesn't stop -- Trump supporters will be defending the indefensible for the next 5 months and the GOP will be paying for it for years. 

Trump moneyman’s shady history


One of six vice-chairs of the “Trump Victory Leadership Team,” a joint fundraising effort announced Tuesday by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, pleaded guilty in 2009 to criminal charges involving bribes paid to top New York State officials.

Elliott Broidy, a Los Angeles venture capitalist, was charged with showering nearly $1 million in gifts and favors on state officials as part of a scheme to win more than $250 million in state pension investments for the venture capital firm he then headed, Markstone Capital. Broidy pleaded guilty to a felony charge of rewarding state official misconduct and faced a four-year prison term. But the charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor, allowing him to escape jail time, after he cooperated in the state’s investigation, resulting in the 2010 conviction of then state Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi.

In 2009, he pleaded guilty to a felony after he was accusing of bribing former New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi.[6][7][8] Some of the money also went to Jack Chartier, who was Hevesi's chief of staff and actress Peggy Lipton's boyfriend.[9] Broidy was spared from going to jail after paying a $48 million bail.[1] Rob Eshman, the editor of The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, who published a scathing attack on Broidy when he was convicted, later publicly praised Broidy for taking full responsibility for his actions.[10]

In 2013, he was the executive producer of two films: Sugar and Snake and Mongoose.[11]

He was a "Super Ranger", donating more than US$300,000 to President George W. Bush.[9] In October 2006, he hosted a fundraiser for then-President George W. Bush, where US$1 was raised.[12] Later that year, he was appointed by Secretary Michael Chertoff to the Homeland Security Advisory Council as well as the Future of Terrorism Task Force and New Technology Task Force.[3][5][6] Meanwhile, President Bush appointed him to the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.[5][6]
