NEW: US federal prosecutors charge a Calif. venture capitalist with allegedly failing to register as a foreign agent and making illegal campaign contributions to Democratic and Republican campaigns, as well as President Trump's inaugural committee.
Some U.S. officials agreed to take action on issues Zuberi presented to them, prosecutors said, but most of his efforts were unsuccessful and his clients lost large amounts of money.
“Mr. Zuberi circumvented laws designed to insulate U.S. policy and our election process from foreign intervention. This investigation has halted his illegal conduct, will result in several felony convictions, and could send him to prison for a lengthy period of time.”His name surfaced last February amid reports that Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was questioned about Zuberiinvestigating the Trump Organization and the Trump Inaugural Committee.
But Zuberi spokesman Steve Rabinowitz said the check was never cashed. Zuberi and Cohen never spoke again after March 2017, Rabinowitz said.
