Surprised to see this article in the Daily Telegraph, a media outlet which is seen as very conservative in England. It's more like something one would read in The Guardian.
Interesting followup to the fund-raising letters the Trump campaign sent to various foreign politicians earlier in the year.
June, 30: Trump fundraising emails overseas prompt complaints here and abroad
July, 16: Trump campaign solicits illegal foreign donations despite warnings
August 16: Trump camp apparently soliciting foreign cash despite warnings
Exclusive investigation: Donald Trump faces foreign donor fundraising scandal
Senior figures involved with the Great America PAC, one of the leading "independent" groups organising television advertisements and grassroots support for the Republican nominee, sought to channel $2 million from a Chinese donor into the campaign to elect the billionaire despite laws prohibiting donations from foreigners.
In return, undercover reporters purporting to represent the fictitious donor were assured that he would obtain “influence” if Mr Trump made it to the White House.
Last week Eric Beach, the PAC’s co-chairman, confirmed to the reporters at an event in Las Vegas that their client's support would be "remembered" if Mr Trump became president.
