I just checked. Farrakhan received about 1 BILLION dollars from Gaddafi, in part to help Clinton get re-elected (via the minority vote).
FEDS PROBE FARRAKHAN-LIBYA TIE
By Richard Sisk
February 17th 1996
WASHINGTON The Justice Department yesterday fired off a letter to Louis Farrakhan calling for an accounting of the reported $1 billion deal the Nation of Islam leader made with Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy.
Justice officials said they were seeking to determine "whether a violation of federal law occurred" during Farrakhan's tour of Africa and the Mideast, which has included meetings with Khadafy, Iraq's Saddam Hussein and the rulers of Iran.
According to the government-controlled Libyan media, Khadafy pledged $1 billion to Farrakhan's group, partly to help turn out the minority vote in the November elections.
If true, Farrakhan could have violated federal law by failing to register with the Justice Department as the agent of a foreign government seeking to influence American policies or politics.
