It was just one month after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
U.S. forces were poised to invade Afghanistan in just a few weeks.
Gen. Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan was getting a lot of pressure from the White House to cooperate with the newly declared War on Terror. And he wanted a few favors in return.
Who did the Musharraf government turn to to help navigate relations with the U.S.?
A few Houston-based Republicans, including Stephen Payne, who was recently caught on video telling a politician from Kazakistan he could arrange meetings with high-ranking Bush administrations officials in exchange for a large donation to Bush's presidential library fund.
