Chung was charged with funneling illegal campaign contributions through use of straw donors for the Clinton reelection campaign.

She used the names of straw donors on federal documents to conceal illegal contributions amounting to $16,000.

In reality, they were only "straw donors," reimbursed by the temple itself, which, as a religious, tax-exempt institution, is prohibited from making political donations.

A straw donor is a person who illegally uses another person's money to make a political contribution in their own name.

Prosecutors also sought to prove his extensive use of straw donors to launder illegal campaign contributions.

They also bar secret reimbursements to so-called "straw donors" - a way of hiding political contributions by the person making the reimbursement.

They dispensed the money to various straw donors who sent checks to the Democratic National Committee.

For the second table, she found straw donors because the real donor was a foreign national, the indictment said.

Investigators are exploring what role the pair may have had in funneling contributions to Democrats through straw donors.

Asian business contributions through straw donors are only part of the picture.
