AP: Saudi tycoon donated to Obama inauguration through a middleman

A fundraiser who raised millions of dollars for both Democrats and Republicans reportedly pleaded guilty earlier this month to making illegal donations to multiple American political candidates on behalf of foreign nationals, including to former President Obama’s second inauguration fund in 2012.

Imaad Zuberi, 49, is also set to plead guilty to lobbying high-level U.S. officials while working as a foreign agent, The Associated Press reports.

Notably, Zuberi funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from Saudi tycoon Sheikh Mohammed Al Rahbani and his associates into Obama’s inauguration.

He reportedly also was a top fundraiser for Obama and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton during their presidential campaigns.
