The outlet said that Floyd has written a guide on prosecuting racketeering cases.The investigation into Trump includes a phone call the then-president made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a recording of which was obtained by The Washington Post in January. During the call, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-brad-raffensperger-phone-call-georgia-votes-presidential-election-2021-01">Trump told Raffensperger to "find" the additional votes</a> he needed to defeat Joe Biden in the state.During the phone call, Raffensperger told Trump that the election was secure and that Trump's data suggesting he had won was wrong, prompting Trump to push back."All I want to do is this," Trump said. "I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state."In February, Willis sent a letter to Raffensperger, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, and other Republican officials asking them to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/georgia-prosecutors-trump-criminal-investigation-election-interference-fulton-county-2021-2">save materials related to that phone call</a> for an "investigation into attempts to influence the administration of the 2020 Georgia General Election."The letter listed racketeering as one of the possible violations being investigated, as well as soliciting election fraud, making false statements to government bodies, and violation of oath of office.

The report said it was unclear if any contributions or activities conducted by the Chinese nationals violated US laws, though federal law prohibits political donations by foreign entities. According to The Journal, several of the Chinese nationals mentioned in the report worked closely with the Chinese government and briefed high-ranking Chinese officials about their activities. It added that most of the political donations it identified were provided to a fundraising committee called Trump Victory and were among the largest donations made in 2017.The Journal identified a man named David Tian Wang as "a pro-Trump organizer" who was a Chinese citizen with a US green card. Wang founded a group called Chinese Americans for Trump and was well-connected to people and groups supported by the Chinese government, the outlet said. Sources told The Journal that Wang was approached by officials from China's consulate in Los Angeles after the 2016 election and was asked to help with Chinese lobbying efforts. He also donated $150,000 to Trump Victory, The Journal said, citing Federal Election Commission disclosures."He became a frequent presence in Republican circles," The Journal said. In May 2017, Wang attended a Republican National Committee leadership meeting in San Diego along with three men linked to China's government, according to the report. At the meeting, GOP leaders "discussed campaign strategies and other issues," The Journal said. One of the men, Zhao Gang, was identified by The Journal as a researcher for China's Ministry of Science and Technology.Another man, identified in the report as Tang Ben, is a Chinese-born US citizen who served as an executive member at the China Strategic Culture Promotion Association, <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2012/09/18/about-the-u-s-china-security-perceptions-project/">a Beijing-based think tank</a> led by a retired Chinese military general. According to The Journal, Tang and his wife donated $300,000 to Trump Victory, which allowed him to attend a fundraiser at the Trump International Hotel in Washington in June 2017.The third man, Wu Guangsheng, was identified by The Journal as "the chairman of a state-backed Chinese producer of military communications and satellite equipment." The Chinese government and China's Embassy in Washington did not respond to The Journal for comment. The Federal Election Commission declined to comment on the men's attendance at the Republican meeting. The White House did not immediately respond to Business Insider with information on whether Trump was aware of the political contributions or if Trump knew of the donors' ties to the Chinese government.

He said the ISC found it "astonishing" that the UK government didn't seek to "protect the referendum" by looking into potential Russian interference. The report calls for a full, retrospective assessment into potential Russian interference in the referendum, pointing out that the US carried out an intelligence assessment within two months of the 2016 presidential election.However, the UK government rejected this call, saying in response: "A retrospective assessment of the EU referendum is not necessary."A spokesperson for Johnson later told reporters: "We have seen no influence of Russian influence on the EU referendum."<div type="image" title="Boris Johnson" height="600" width="1200" msid="77084923" hostid="261"></div>The <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/independent.gov.uk/viewer?a=v&amp;pid=sites&amp;srcid=aW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuZ292LnVrfGlzY3xneDo1Y2RhMGEyN2Y3NjM0OWFlNjM0OWFl">report</a> by the ISC was published on Tuesday after being completed almost 18 months ago.Prime Minister Boris Johnson refused to publish it prior to the UK's general election in December <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-blocked-russian-interference-report-kremlin-link-conservative-donors-2019-11?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amid reports</a> of "embarrassing" information it contained about UK-based Russian oligarchs who fund the <keyword id="141830" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Conservatives">Conservatives</keyword>.No donors are named in the report, which has been extensively redacted prior to publication.Downing Street has been under growing pressure to form the new ISC so that the report could be released.MPs last month <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-russia-report-affront-to-democracy-cross-party-letter-2020-6?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a letter to Johnson</a> that the delay in releasing the report was an "affront to democracy," and pointed out that never before had it taken a UK government so long to form the committee.Parts of the report published today are redacted and it does not identify individuals with ties to the Kremlin who have links to the Conservative party.Data published last month showed continued financial support for the Conservative party from the wife of a former minister in Putin's Russian government.Lubov Chernukhin, who is married to ex-Russian finance minister Vladimir Chernukhin, donated £325,000 to Johnson's party in the first quarter of 2020, <a href="https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/who-we-are-and-what-we-do/financial-reporting/donations-and-loans/view-donations-and-loans/information-about-donors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the data,</a> which made her the biggest ever female political donor in the UK.In 2014, she <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jul/23/boris-johnson-tennis-match-russian-chernukhin">paid £160,000 for a game of tennis with Johnson and then-prime minister David Cameron</a>, as well as a further £30,000 for dinner with the UK government's current education secretary, Gavin Williamson.<a href="https://news.sky.com/story/lubov-chernukhin-wife-of-former-putin-ally-has-dinner-with-prime-minister-11708329" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In May last year</a>, Chernukhin dined with ex-prime minister Theresa May and numerous female members of the Cabinet at the time, after donating £135,000 to a Conservative Party fundraising event.

But Trump later backtracked and said he misspoke after his comments provoked a backlash.And after then-FBI Director James Comey announced in March 2017 that the FBI was investigating Russia's election meddling, Trump publicly attacked Comey and suggested the FBI was working with Democrats to undermine him. When Trump fired Comey that May, the move had FBI officials so concerned that they began investigating whether the US president was working as a witting or unwitting Russian asset.The former special counsel Robert Mueller, who was tapped to oversee the Russia probe after Comey's firing, did not find sufficient evidence to bring a criminal conspiracy charge against Trump or anyone associated with his campaign.But prosecutors <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mueller-report-shows-how-barr-selectively-quoted-it-2019-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> "that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and ... the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-opinion-programs-white-supremacist-rhetoric-great-replacement-2019-5">Fox News pundits are using white supremacist language tied to 'The Great Replacement' conspiracy theory</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
