He wrote an op-ed in the WaPo in 2017 about being an immigrant who remodeled the Pentagon:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/03/23/i-came-here-as-a-refugee-and-then-i-rebuilt-the-pentagon-after-911/

It's paywalled so I can't read it, but it features a picture of Bibi Netanyahu and Sen. Graham. I'd wager he's Likud and Repuke-friendly and that led Bullshit Artist to his firm.
