GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy's office in Los Angeles was raided last July by federal investigators looking for records detailing his dealings with"Trump administration associates" and and foreign officials, according to a new report Monday.
The report said that federal agents were authorized in that warrant to use Broidy's face and hands if needed to unlock phones that require either fingerprint or facial scans. ProPublica reported that the search warrant indicates that investigators are eyeing Broidy's alleged work on behalf of Jho Low, a fugitive Malaysian financier who is believed to have masterminded the looting of billions of dollars from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.
The New York Times reported in November, along with the Washington Post, that Broidy matches the description of a person identified as Individual No. 1 in court filings by federal prosecutors as someone who took part in a lobbying effort to have the Trump administration terminate a probe into the alleged theft from 1MDB.
