Elliott Broidy Got A No Knock!

Elliott Broidy did more than sleep with a Playboy model.
Client number 2 was just raided by the feds.

Elliott Broidy, one of three men tied to Michael Cohen, the former lawyer to Donald J. Trump and Sean "Softball" Hannity had his offices and home raided in regards to money laundering.

Broidy, the former RNC deputy finance chair allegedly paid a mistress to conceal a pregnancy. Cohen announced his name in federal court the past year.

The Robert Mueller investigation has taking a turn into the controversy involving a lawyer who allegedly covered up payments to Trump's alleged mistresses, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

The past summer the feds had searched the disgraced Cohen's office and homes. The trove of information has been given to federal prosecutors.

Cohen who continues to corporate with the feds has made Trump and Softball Hannity nervous. Cohen has spoken about the financial ties Trump has with the Russian Federation.

Broidy served as a major Trump campaign fundraiser and was the national deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee until he resigned in April 2018, when it was revealed he had agreed to secretly pay off a former Playboy model in exchange for her silence about their affair.

The search warrant cites three potential crimes that authorities are investigating: conspiracy, money laundering and violations of the law barring covert lobbying on behalf of foreign officials. To obtain a search warrant, authorities have to convince a judge that there’s a probable cause they will find evidence of those specific crimes.

In a separate filing in November, the Justice Department alleged that Broidy was paid by Low to lobby Trump administration officials to ease off on U.S. investigations into Low. Broidy is not identified by name in the filings, but he is widely reported to be the person referred to as “Individual No. 1.” Broidy has not been charged with a crime, and it’s unclear what the status of the investigation is.

Pras Michel, a member of the hip-hop group The Fugees and an associate of Low’s, funneled the money to pay Broidy into the United States, the Justice Department alleged. Asked about the Broidy search warrant, a lawyer for Michel, Barry Pollack, said: “There has been news of this Broidy investigation for many months. Mr. Michel has not been charged with any wrongdoing whatsoever related to Mr. Broidy or anyone else.”

Federal authorities were also seeking records in Broidy’s office related to the United Arab Emirates, UAE adviser George Nader, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and any travel to the Middle East.
