But the Logan act says "fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States." He should regain and face prosecution but it is unlikely this is a violation of the Logan Act

However, Senators are authorized to talk to foreign ambassadors. McCain called the Aussie ambassador to apologize for Trump being an asshole.
