Did the Trump Campaign Violate Federal Law by Soliciting Scottish MPs?

The Scotsman reports that Trump “emailed Scottish MPs from all parties last week urging them to ‘make America great again’ by donating to his campaign,” getting a firm no from at least one.  Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions, as well as the solicitation, acceptance, or receipt of contributions from foreign nationals.  This could be a problem, if the Trump campaign knew or had reason to know it was soliciting foreign nationals.
