Mercenary Biden donor gets 12 years

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Imaad Zuberi pleaded guilty to charges of tax evasion, campaign finance violations and failing to register as a foreign agent

He was ordered to pay nearly $16 million in restitution and a nearly $2 million fine

Federal prosecutors described Zuberi, who reports to prison May 25, as a 'mercenary' political donor who gave to anyone he thought could help him

Sentence comes after former President Donald Trump pardoned others who had been convicted or pleaded guilty to similar foreign-influence-related crimes
