for Turkey last fall, earning more than half a million dollars. He was working for Turkey at the same time he was advising DT on foreign policy.

As a retired General, he was required to get permission before accepting payments from foreign governments. He was also required to register as a "Foreign Agent." He did neither till AFTER he left his position in the DT administration. Failing to register under the FARA act is a crime.

He also is thought to have communicated improperly with Russians during the transition, in violation of the Logan act. These reports haven't been proven, but the FBI is investigating.

What is certain is that he failed to register as a Foreign Agent. They have him on that at the very least
