He's soliciting donations from foreigners, in this case UK parliament members from Scotland.
Why Is Team Trump Asking Liberal Scottish Politicians for Donations?
Now, it's possible the Trump team did it accidentally, but it can still be illegal, depending on the degree of the offense.
Any campaign should know soliciting donations from foreigners is illegal. There's no excuse for not knowing.
As long as campaigns take reasonable precuations to screen out foreigners, the FEC won't have a problem with minor violations. If it turns out [email protected] was actually not an American citizen, that's no big deal. That's an honest mistake.
However, emailing a bunch of parliament members with language aimed at Scottish people is not an honest mistake. Thus, the FEC should nail the Trump campaign hard for this.
