(Erin Coates, The Western Journal) A California businessman who was a top fundraiser for Democratic and Republican campaigns was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in prison for schemes to funnel foreign money into U.S. political campaigns and take millions of dollars for himself.

Imaad Zuberi’s donations bought him access to many elected officials including presidents, vice presidents and congressional leaders, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“To open doors, I have to donate,” he told The New York Times in 2019. “It’s just a fact of life.”

Zuberi used the name of his dead mother and was secretly reimbursed by foreigners trying to disguise fundraising efforts to sway American police, the LA Times reported.

He also made personal gains by cheating his foreign clients and evading taxes.

“All of these are serious offenses,” U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips said at his hearing.

The Los Angeles judge fined him $1.75 million and ordered him to pay $15.7 million to the government for unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

“I’m deeply sorry, and of course I’m humiliated as I stand in front of you.”

He made over $950,000 in unlawful donations, nearly all from undisclosed foreign donors, to former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, the late Sen. John McCain and other political campaigns.

He also donated to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign before he pivoted to backing Republicans following former President Donald Trump’s victory.

Zuberi admitted in June that his donation to Trump’s inaugural fund was partly intended to give him access to inaugural events where he hoped to talk business, but his business plans backfired after his donation was cited in a subpoena, The Times reported.

In 2016, the businessman went from attending Clinton’s election night party in New York City to being co-chair of the Trump Presidential Inauguration Committee.

The Times reported that Zuberi and his firm also received $5.65 million in unlawful payments from Sri Lanka as part of an attempt to influence the U.S. government.

“Mr. Zuberi flouted federal laws that restrict foreign influences upon our government and prohibit injecting foreign money into our political campaigns. He enriched himself by defrauding his clients and evading the payment of taxes,” Acting U.S. Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison for the Central District of California said in a Thursday news release from the Department of Justice.

“Today’s sentence, which also accounts for Mr. Zuberi’s attempt to obstruct an investigation into his felonious conduct, underscores the importance of our ongoing efforts to maintain transparency in U.S. elections and policy-making processes.”

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
