However, foreign nationals are not allowed to contribute to presidential campaigns under U.S federal election law.<\/p>\n<p>Low is currently facing federal charges of embezzling $4.5 billion from Malaysia&#8217;s 1MDB sovereign wealth fund. DiCaprio, who had a relationship with the financier and was involved with a movie that Low helped fund, is considered a crucial witness in the case. Prakazrel &#8220;Pras&#8221; Michel, a founding member of the hip-hop group The Fugees, was allegedly recruited by Low to funnel funds to Obama&#8217;s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>According to federal prosecutors, Michel was able to wire the money to Obama&#8217;s campaign from Low&#8217;s account without detection. They also believe Michel worked with others in an attempt to get the Trump Administration to cease its investigation into Low.<\/p>\n<p>Low is currently a fugitive and is believed to be hiding in China, while others involved have been charged with offences that include bribery and money laundering.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h4>Recommended<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In 2018, the Justice Department entered into a civil agreement with the company responsible for producing DiCaprio&#8217;s film, &#8220;The Wolf of Wall Street,&#8221; which saw them forfeit $60 million that was determined to have been stolen from 1MDB. DiCaprio has since cooperated with the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h4>Recommended<\/h4>\n<p>Trending on Townhall Video<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Democrats are politically targeting former President Donald Trump for allegedly paying hush money during the 2016 presidential election, President Obama&#8217;s &#8220;illegal foreign influence operation&#8221; is flying under the radar.\u00a0 Earlier this week, actor Leonardo DiCaprio testified in federal court that Malaysian financier Jho Low revealed his plans to donate up to $30 million to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1911072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[13282,10280,4087,23627,3977,3728,20681,5315,10401,7807,3634],"class_list":["post-1911071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-13282","tag-10280","tag-campaign","tag-ccp-linked","tag-criminal","tag-election","tag-fugitive","tag-obama","tag-prosecution","tag-received","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1911071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1911071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1911071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1911072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1911071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1911071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1911071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
