Imaad Zuberi, an American venture capitalist who donated $900,000 to President Trump's inaugural committee, will plead guilty to one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly impeding a federal investigation into the inaugural fund, his attorney said
Zuberi has agreed to plead guilty to obstruction and will ask to transfer the case to Los Angeles where he previously pleaded guilty to separate criminal charges, attorney David Kelley told CNN on Tuesday. Prosecutors with the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York allege after Zuberi learned of the federal inquiry he then took steps to block it.
Michael Flynn should get up to 6 months in jail for lying to FBI, prosecutors sayThe charges were announced in a criminal information, a document that indicates the defendant will plead guilty to the charges. Zuberi was one of the largest donors to Trump's inaugural fund in 2016 and was the only individual identified by name in a subpoena sent to the President's Inaugural Committee in February 2019.
