Overview
David Rivera, ex-Congressman, is indicted for allegedly failing to register as a foreign agent and accepting over $5.5 million to lobby the Trump administration on behalf of sanctioned Venezuelan businessman Raúl Gorrín. The indictment details Rivera's creation of shell companies and fraudulent documents to conceal lobbying efforts. This indictment stems from Rivera's prior controversial ties to Venezuelan officials, including a juvenile lobbying case related to the state-owned oil company PDVSA, leading to questions about his compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
