Today the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI jointly indicted DSouza for illegally funneling money to conservative Senatorial candidate in 2012 and, later, lying to the Federal Election Commission about it. He faces up to 7 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who announced the indictment in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday afternoon, alleges that DSouza arranged for an unspecified number of individuals to donate to a political campaign under their own names on the condition that DSouza would reimburse them in full. DSouza apparently concocted the plot to skirt federal campaign finance laws that limit the amount of money a single individual can donate to a candidate.
While Bharara doesnt name the candidate to whom DSouza directed the money, Reuters identified her as Wendy Long, a Republican lawyer who in 2012 ran unsuccessfully against Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat and the junior U.S. Senator of New York State.
DSouza is scheduled to be arraigned in Manhattan on Friday. He is also scheduled to debate former Weatherman Bill Ayers on January 30 at Dartmouth College about what makes America so great.
