And yet, they keep asking foreign sources for campaign contributions.
Illegally soliciting campaign donations from foreign sources all over the world and one of the sources being former Mexican President Vicente Fox.
Fox recently received an e-mail from the Trump campaign asking for a donation and he mentioned it on Twitter and raked Trump over the coals for it. They keep sending these campaign emails soliciting foreign donors, even though they have been put on notice.
No word from the Trump campaign, as per usual. This campaign is corrupt.

It is illegal for an American candidate to solicit funds from foreign nationals. The law was brought to the attention of the Trump campaign back in June, when reports surfaced that lawmakers in Scotland, England, Iceland, Australia and other countries were getting a barrage of fundraising emails from the Trump campaign. Two campaign finance watchdog groups, Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center, filed complaints in June with the Federal Election Commission.
But the emails kept going out to foreign leaders. That prompted Democracy 21 and Campaign Legal Center to write a letter in July to the Justice Department, asking them to investigate whether the Trump campaign had "engaged in knowing and willful violations" of campaign finance laws, which could carry criminal penalties.
"They have been put on notice that they are illegally soliciting contributions from foreign sources," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21. "This is one of the most arrogant acts I have ever seen in the world of campaign fundraising, where they are willing to completely ignore the statutes that prevent a federal candidate from soliciting contributions from foreign interests. It's pretty mind-boggling."
