前共和党国会议员里维拉因代表委内瑞拉进行秘密游说活动而被判有罪
Read, Watch or Listen
MIAMI — Former Republican Congressman David Rivera was convicted on Friday in federal court for his role in an alleged secret lobbying campaign on behalf of Venezuela, with jurors finding him and associate Esther Nuhfer guilty of failing to register as foreign agents and conspiracy to launder money following a seven-week trial. The conviction, announced this week, led Judge Melissa Damian to order Rivera taken into custody as a flight risk; sentencing is set for July 22 and prosecutors noted Rivera faces additional federal charges in Washington, D.C., while testimony during the trial included that of Secretary of State Marco Rubio in March.
