Podesta Group Admits Undisclosed Foreign Government Advocacy
|
[FREEBEACON] A high-powered Democratic lobbying firm has admitted to the Department of Justice that it failed to file legally required disclosures of White House advocacy on behalf of a foreign government, new federal filings show.
The Podesta Group this month amended two biannual lobbying disclosure forms from 2014 and 2015
| Amended, are they? Boy howdy, how did it ever come to pass that the filing deadline for the amendments was just after the election? |
to note meetings and email communications between Tony Podesta, the firm’s principal, and John Podesta, Tony’s brother and a former Obama White House official who chaired  Hillary Clinton

’s presidential campaign.
The amended disclosures came after the Washington Free Beacon reported on the Podesta Group’s apparent violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires foreign government lobbyists to disclose contacts they made with government officials and news media on behalf of their clients.
The foreign government advocacy in question was undertaken on behalf of the government of India, a Podesta Group client since 2010.

On August 4, 2014, the Podesta brothers met with the Indian ambassador to the United States in the White House, visitor logs show. At the time, John was a senior counselor to the president. His "portfolio" of work there included issues pertaining to India.
A few months later, on Jan. 1, 2015, Tony emailed John inviting him to an event featuring the Indian ambassador, according to emails posted by WikiLeaks after hackers believed to be acting on behalf of the Russian government breached John’s account.
The meeting and the emails should have been disclosed in the Podesta Group’s original "supplemental" disclosure statements, Craig Engle, a partner at the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Arent Fox, told the Free Beacon at the time. But the firm’s supplemental statements did not mention either.
