A close adviser to Hillary Clinton courted and procured money that was later used to fund illegal get-out-the-vote operations during the former secretary of state's hotly contested 2008 presidential bid, according to allegations formally laid out Monday by federal prosecutors.

The information became public as part of a plea agreement for Jeffrey Thompson, a Washington, D.C. businessman who on Monday pled guilty to conspiracy for masterminding a nearly $670,000 illegal "shadow campaign" for D.C. Mayor Vince Gray's successful mayoral bid in 2010. But within the documents, Thompson told federal prosecutors that Clinton adviser Minyon Moore approached him to raise funds for the Clinton campaign that would end up amounting to more than $600,000.

There is no evidence in the documents that Clinton was aware of the off-the-books effort. Nor is there any indication within the court filing that Moore knew, as well.

A spokeswoman for the Dewey Square Group, Moore's current employer, said in a statement to CNN that the Clinton confidant "fully cooperated with the government's investigation and the facts make clear that she was entirely unaware of any inappropriate activities."

According to the documents, Moore's contact with Thompson began in February 2008 when the Clinton adviser asked Thompson to organize "street teams" in support of the Clinton's primary campaign. At first, these street teams only aimed to help before the Texas primary on March 4, 2008.

The court documents show that Moore introduced Thompson to "INDIVIDUAL C," someone who a government source said was a Clinton supporter in Texas, and Troy White, a New York marketing executive who pled guilty for his work on the street teams last year.

The group also included Luis Vera, the general counsel for the League of United Latin American Citizens, according to a government source, whose task was to help turnout Hispanic voters ahead of the primary. In the court documents, Vera is identified as "INDIVIDUAL B."

After Clinton won the most votes in the Texas primary, the effort continued and Moore worked with Thompson, according to the documents, to deploy teams to Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina and Puerto Rico in an effort to boost Clinton's standing in the lead up to each state's primary.

Federal campaign finance rules outlaw people working for a campaign from soliciting off-the-books contributions and Moore's work with Thompson could be considered in violation of those laws.
