George A. Higginbotham, a former DOJ employee, has pleaded guilty to making false statements to a bank linked to an illegal foreign influence scheme. His involvement stemmed from his legal work for hip-hop artist Pras Michel, who is currently embroiled in a corruption case. Higginbotham's actions included the creation of fraudulent documents to disguise the source of millions intended for lobbying the U.S. government. His disbarment serves as a cautionary tale about legal and ethical boundaries in influential positions.
George A. Higginbotham, a former senior congressional affairs specialist at the DOJ, prepared fake loan documents, investment agreements and consulting agreements to hide the source of tens of millions of dollars intended to be used to lobby the U.S. government.
Higgenbotham pleaded guilty to a count of making false statements to a bank, marking a significant fall from grace for someone who once held a prominent position in the Department of Justice.
