Trump's numbers are tanking and he knows Mamdani's a winner and inviting him to the White House creates a positive association. Mamdani needs to make sure Trump won't send federal troops into NYC. As the Chinese would say, this meeting is a win-win.

There are a range of types of ways to receive money, if one has views which are sympathetic to Russia, and unsympathetic to Nato, Ukraine
Somewhat more legitimately (or legally at least), eg by £ for media channel appearances, eg by Farage
And illegitimately, eg unlawful bribery in case of Gill.

It would be useful to see a detailed comparison of what Gill said (as a result of bribery) and what Farage said, on the same topics. It is perfectly possible he made broadly similar arguments from conviction, rather than for money, though they can be criticised as bad arguments.
