Federal officials are investigating whether a fugitive Malaysian
financier laundered tens of millions of dollars and used the funds to
pay a legal team that includes former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and
Marc Kasowitz, an attorney for President Trump, the Wall Street Journal
reported Wednesday.
The financier, Jho Low, allegedly played a central role in the
embezzlement of $4.5 billion from a Malaysian fund called 1Malaysia
Development Bhd, according to U.S. court filings cited by the Journal.
Low also is wanted by Malaysian authorities in connection with the
scandal.
There is no indication anyone paid with the allegedly laundered funds knew the money was tainted, according to the newspaper.
