“No person shall knowingly solicit, accept, or receive from a foreign national any contribution or donation prohibited by [this law].”
A solicitation is an oral or written communication that, construed as reasonably understood in the context in which it is made, contains a clear message asking, requesting, or recommending that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer of funds, or otherwise provide anything of value.
With this now understood that he knew it was being provided information by the Russian government. He is tied through solicitation to this statute. His biggest defense before today was he didn't know they were part of Russian Government. With that now off the table he has issues.
Truth be told, I didn't notice the timestamp, either. The article was from yesterday, before Jr posted the email chain. That does change things a bit.
