CREW: Regarding Mongolia Forward's Ties to Gage LLC and Rep. Rehberg (R-MT)

On October 3, 2011, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the State Department, the Department of Commerce, the United State Trade Representative and the Department of Energy seeking information about an American company, Mongolia Forward, and its efforts to develop uranium mines in Mongolia. Mongolia Forward is closely tied to the government affairs firm, Gage LLC, and to Representative Denny Rehberg’s (R-MT) son, A.J. Rehberg. The information requested in these FOIAs will help CREW determine whether these agencies, possibly at the behest of Rep. Rehberg, took any actions to aid Mongolia Forward’s efforts.
