South Korea has the same problem with influence peddling in government as we have here in the States. Companies with strong ties to government are known as "chaebols" and Samsung is one of their bigger chaebols with close ties to South Korean president Park Geun-hye. Samsung was raided earlier today by investigators seeking evidence that Samsung may have given gifts to one of the president's aides. In light of recent news, we've put together a venn showing the influence Samsung has here with the U.S. federal government. Of particular interest is Greg Guice, a Samsung lobbyist who has also held the position of director of legislative affairs at the FCC.
