United States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 September 5, 2018 ‘The Honorable John C. Demers Assistant Attorney General National Security Division Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Assistant Attomey General Demers: We write regarding public reports that suggest the President's personal attorney, Mr. Rudolph Giuliani, has conducted a number of political and public relations activities on behalf of foreign entities that implicate registration requirements of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).' Given these reports regarding Mr. Giuliani's work on behalf of foreign governments and interests, we request that the Department of Justice review whether he is in compliance with FARA, including whether he has an obligation to register any undisclosed political activities, has any delinquent filings, or has any deficiencies or abnormalities in his registration statements. FARA generally requires individuals working to influence U.S. government officials or the public on behalf of a foreign entity to register that activity with the Department.? The Act defines political activities that require registration as “any activity that the person engaging in believes will in any way influence any agency or official of the Government of the United States.”* However, FARA also covers any type of public relations directly or indirectly on behalf ofa foreign principal, as well as any advising on the domestic or foreign policies of the United States.* Mr. Giuliani’s numerous foreign clients and ongoing communications with senior U.S. government officials raise significant concerns. Mr. Giuliani reportedly receives compensation from: the Party of Regions in Ukraine, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), as well as unnamed clients in Colombia and Brazil.’ Press releases on Mr. Giuliani’s security company’s website describe additional work on behalf of the governments of Chile, Dominica, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador.° ' RUSE. 611 Fa, 522 USC. $611¢0). £22 USC §§ 611(@) and () * Josh Dawsey etal, Giuliani Works for Foreign Clients While Serving as Trump's Attorney, WASH.

Without further review, itis impossible to know whether fobbying U.S. government officials on behalf of his foreign clients. .. Giuliani’s public activities have also raised FARA concerns. For example, Mr. Giuliani's patticipation in the MEK’s lobbying effort to be removed ftom the U.S, State Department's Foreign Terrorist Organization list is well-documented.” In nearly every article describing the ‘group's lobbying effort, Mr, Giuliani’s name, quotes, and public remarks are used as evidence of the effort’s credibility Mr, Giuliani also regularly advocates for regime change in Iran, which ‘one of MEK’s top objectives.? Given Mr. Giuliani's receipt of significant payment from the MEK and simultaneous advocacy on behalf of that group and its objectives, his actions may require registration under FARA. Additionally, Mr. Giuliani’s work on behalf the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, whose mayor is a member of the Party of Regions is also concerning.'® ‘The Ukrainian Party of Regions" connections to the Russian Government and anti-democratic activity are well-documented, '* Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, who both served in senior roles on the President’s 2016 campaign team, were convicted of or pleaded guilty to criminal acts in part because of their work on behalf of this Russian-backed Ukrainian political party. Mr. Giuliani’s financial connection to the organization, the organization’s close ties with the Russian government, and Mr. Giuliani's ongoing public advocacy against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election raises further questions that warrant review. Most recently, it has come to light that Mr. Giuliani was paid for sending a letter in August of 2018 to the President of Romania criticizing that nation’s anti-corruption program on behalf of a global firm that reportedly has a wealthy Romanian citizen as a client.'? Mr. Giuliani’s letter advocates for a position that is in contradiction of the U.S. State Department's position on the ° See 6 ., Seatt Shane, For Obscure Iranian Exile Group, Broad Support in U.S,, NY TIMES, Nov. 26, 2011, Ips:/vww.nytimes.com201 1/1 L/27fus/politics/tebbying-support-or-iranian-exile-eroup-crosses-perty-lines. ttl; Blizabeth Rubin, Opinion, An /ranian Cult and tts American Friends, NY Tintes, Nov.

This activity raises both the question of whether Mr. Giuliani may have attempted to influence U.S, policy and what the U.S. government's true position is, given his role as the President’s personal attorney and public spokesman. ‘The purpose of FARA is to ensure the American public can make informed judgments about the political activities of foreign agents in the U.S. We appreciate the recent efforts by the Department to ensure better compliance with FARA, and as is the long-standing practice of the Department of Justice, this law should be applied without regard to political association, activities, or beliefs. Given Mr. Giuliani’s ongoing relationships with foreign governments as well as his concurrent representation of the President, we hope you will agree this situation merits immediate review. Sincerely, Onn (hare Tom Udall United States Senator (Doman Richard Blumenthal United States Senator palin _ ffl Mab weldon Whitehouse Jefirey A.
