\u201cA federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Ahmad \u201cAndy\u201d Khawaja, 48, of Los Angeles, California, on Nov. 7, 2019, along with George Nader, Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad \u201cMoe\u201d Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple.\u00a0<\/strong>The 53 count indictment charges Khawaja with two counts of conspiracy, three counts of making conduit contributions, three counts of causing excessive contributions, 13 counts of making false statements, 13 counts of causing false records to be filed, and one count of obstruction of a federal grand jury investigation. Nader is charged with conspiring with Khawaja to make conduit campaign contributions, and related offenses. Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple are charged with conspiring with Khawaja and each other to make conduit campaign contributions and conceal excessive contributions, and related offenses.<\/p>\nccording to the indictment, from March 2016 through January 2017, Khawaja conspired with Nader to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions, directed to political committees associated with a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 election. By design, these contributions appeared to be in the names of Khawaja, his wife, and his company. In reality, they allegedly were funded by Nader. Khawaja and Nader allegedly made these contributions in an effort to gain influence with high-level political figures, including the candidate. As Khawaja and Nader arranged these payments, Nader allegedly reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain influence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
From March 2016 through 2018, the indictment alleges that Khawaja conspired with Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple.<\/p>\n
They hoped to conceal Khawaja\u2019s excessive contributions, which totaled more than $1.8 million, to various political committees.<\/p>\n
These contributions allegedly allowed Khawaja to host a private fundraiser for a presidential candidate in 2016 and a private fundraising dinner for an elected official in 2018.<\/p>\n
From June 2019 through July 2019, the indictment alleges that Khawaja obstructed a grand jury investigation of this matter in the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n
A witness had been called to testify before the grand jury and Khawaja allegedly provided that witness with false information about Nader and his connection to Khawaja\u2019s company.<\/p>\n
Nader is currently in federal custody on other charges.<\/p>\n
