I'm guessing that last category is the major focus.Federal prosecutors issued a subpoena on Monday to President Donald Trump’s inauguration committee.
[...]
Multiple news outlets reported that the subpoena seeks a wide range of documents from the nonprofit inauguration group, including records about the committee’s donors, attendees at the January 2017 celebration in Washington and information about people who got their photos taken with Trump.
Citing the subpoena, CNN said the record request covers documents dealing with any benefits donors were offered in return for their contributions, as well as information about donations made by and on behalf of foreign nationals.

And I'm guessing there'll be some charges levied.The subpoena also asks for memos or other information about restrictions on donations “including but not limited to prohibitions on donations by foreign nationals or donations on behalf of a third party,” CNN reported.
Federal laws bar foreign donations to federal campaigns, inauguration funds and political action committees. It’s also illegal to exchange donations for political favors and to divert funds from an inauguration to others.
Might have?Last August, W. Samuel Patten, an associate of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, pleaded guilty to failing to register as a foreign lobbyist in the United States. As part of his deal, Patten agreed to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and with other federal prosecutors. He also admitted to paying $50,000 for tickets to the inauguration for a pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarch he was representing, as well as another Russian individual.
Another Mueller cooperator, former Trump campaign deputy Rick Gates, admitted during Manafort’s trial last summer under cross-examination that he might have stolen money from the inaugural committee, which he helped manage.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
