REVEALED: Former Trump campaign manager now lobbies for Russian-backed oil company Citgo
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/revealed-former-trump-campaign-manager-now-lobbies-for-russian-backed-oil-company-citgo/?comments=disqusFormer CNN contributor Corey Lewandowski’s firm offered to lobby for a Venezuelan-backed oil company Citgo—which has ties to the Russian government—amid increased tension between the United States, Russia and the South American country, Politico reports.
Lewandowski’s firm, “Avenue Strategies,” confirmed it accepted a $25,000 lobbying agreement with Citgo, which is reportedly under talks to be taken over by the Russian government-owned oil company Rosneft.
The oil giant also gave Trump’s inauguration $500,000.
Sources told Politico that Lewandoski’s company “was brought on by Citgo to help provide access to the Trump administration.”

Didn't the Comey traitor say yesterday that the Russian influence game was still happening? Remember when CNN stubbornly wouldn't let Cory go when he was still working for the campaign and CNN at the same time?
