A New York man accused of funding anti-U.S. insurgents has also been a major donor for the Republican Party. The suspect, Abdul Alishtari, also known as Michael Mixon, has pleaded not guilty to accepting payment to transfer more than $150,000 to a training camp in Afghanistan. Campaign records show Alishtari donated some $15,000 to Republicans over three years. His resume says he’s been named a National Republican Congressional Committee “Inner Circle Member for Life” and a member of the “White House Business Advisory Committee.”
