Donald Trumpย sure knows how to pick ’em.

Just weeks after naming Madoff-money grabbing, poor-person evicting moneymanย Steven Mnuchin, as his fundraiser-in-chief, Trump tapped venture capitalist Eliott Broidy as the vice-chair of the Trump Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between Trump and the Republican National Committee.

In 2009, Broidy pleaded guilty to committing a felonyย byย givingย nearly $1 million inย illegal gifts to state officials in order to secure a lucrative deal with New York’s public pension fund for his then-firm Markstone Capital Partners.

Broidyย avoided jail time by blowing the whistle on the same people who acceptedย his bribes.
