Trump-Linked Lobbyists Secure Lucrative Foreign Client Contracts

Lobbying firms with close ties to the White House are securing high-value contracts from foreign clients, according to lobbying disclosures filed last week. Some of the foreign clients were facing federal charges at the time of engagement. Retainer fees for these contracts exceeded half a million dollars each during the first three months of the year, making them among the most lucrative lobbying arrangements.

Client Sectors and Contract Values

International firms with roots in the finance, energy, and mining sectors were among those paying the substantial lobbying retainer fees. The contracts represent some of the most expensive influence-work arrangements disclosed in the filing period.

A retainer starting at 500k dollars, and the client is still being federally sued—this storyline is too crazy.

Is this considered a revolving door or overt corruption?

DC's Swamp indeed lives up to its reputation; the disclosure document is more interesting than Netflix.
