Hillary’s Pals @PodestaGroup Made Ads for Saudis to Try to Influence Trump thedailybeast.com/hillarys-pals-…
The Podesta Group—which was co-founded by her campaign chair John Podesta and is chaired by his brother, Tony—helped produce the ads, which began airing last month and urge the White House to cut ties with the Gulf state of Qatar for alleged support of terrorism.
But the ads only mention the Saudi American Public Relation Affairs Committee or SAPRAC.org, making no link to Podesta, a practice which may have skirted U.S. lobbying laws.
The problem is that SAPRAC worked with the Podesta Group to produce the video, according to two sources familiar with the matter, who spoke anonymously in order to discuss what they saw as legally questionable cooperation.
That collaboration raises red flags among some experts on U.S. lobbying disclosure laws. While Podesta is registered as an official agent of the Saudi government, SAPRAC has not registered as an agent of a foreign government.
Yet by producing this video, it worked with one of the many firms representing Saudi Arabia in Washington advancing the Kingdom’s geopolitical interests
