A federal grand jury in New York is investigating Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy and whether he used his position as vice-chairman of President Trump's inaugural committee to solicit personal business from foreign donors, two people familiar with the matter told ABC News on Monday.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn sent the inaugural committee a subpoena earlier this year, requesting documents related to communications between Broidy and specific donors and businesses, ABC News reports. A person with knowledge of the matter said the committee has complied with the subpoena. Broidy's attorney, Christopher Clark, told ABC News he would "not comment on this kind of irresponsible speculation."
