"Donald Trump
should have known better," said Paul S. Ryan, deputy executive director
of the Campaign Legal Center. "It is a no-brainer that it violates the
law to send fundraising emails to members of a foreign government on
their official foreign government email accounts, and yet, that's
exactly what Trump has done repeatedly."
"Emailing
fundraising requests to foreign addresses should have been a big red
flag for the Trump campaign," added Brendan Fischer, associate counsel
for CLC, "but the campaign apparently didn't conduct the minimal
diligence the law requires to avoid running afoul of the foreign
solicitation ban."
