From March 18:
A top republican donor close to President Donald Trump tried to negotiate a $75 million fee from the man at the center of the 1MDB scandal if he could get the U.S. to stop investigating the Malaysian state investment fund, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Elliott Broidy, a longtime Republican donor, and his wife, Robin Rosenzweig, discussed setting up a consulting contract with Jho Low, who has been accused of embezzling state funds, the WSJ, according to emails that the publication reviewed.
One email showed a proposal that would have given Broidy and his wife $75 million if they got the Justice Department to drop its probe into 1MDB.
Broidy also prepared talking points for Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak for his 2017 visit to Washington that included a meeting with Trump. Some of the talking points included talking up Malaysia's relationship with the U.S. in fighting North Korea and arguing against the legal pursuit of 1MDB.

In court Wednesday in the Malaysian capital, Najib was charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust and one charge of abuse of power, just weeks after voters ousted him from power in large part due to long-standing corruption allegations.
He was arrested Tuesday by a special task force at his home in Kuala Lumpur, according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), which has been investigating billions of state funds that went missing while Najib was in power.

Also, he quit making his scheduled payments to Shera Bechard in early July (who - some people say - was pregnant with his child, and he paid for an abortion for her)

I've read persuasive theories that it was actually President Unindicted Co-Conspirator who impregnated said Playmate, and Broidy covered it up.

them?! Sure, why not!?! - and it would be delightful to find out that PUCC was the actual impregnator (ewwww) - but at this point, Id like to just see Broidy facing up to his dirty transnational influence-peddling (or whatever you call it!) deeds...talk about a BAD HOMBRE -
