Former Congressman David Rivera, 59, from Miami, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., for allegedly violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and laundering over $5 million. The indictment, unsealed recently, claims Rivera acted as an unregistered agent for Venezuelan businessman Raul Gorrín, who has been sanctioned by the U.S. government since 2019. Rivera is accused of lobbying officials in the Trump administration, including a senior executive branch official, to lift these sanctions. The charges highlight ongoing concerns regarding foreign influence in U.S. politics.
