Former Trump aide Flynn says lobbying may have helped Turkey
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's former national security adviser
, Michael Flynn, who was fired from his prominent White House job last month
, has registered as a foreign agent with the Justice Department for $530,000
worth of lobbying work that may have aided the Turkish government.
A lawyer for the former U.S. Army lieutenant general and intelligence chief
said in paperwork filed Tuesday with the Justice Department's Foreign Agent
Registration Unit that Flynn was voluntarily registering for lobbying that "
could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey."
Flynn's consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group Inc., had previously disclosed to
Congress that it worked for Inovo BV, a Dutch-based company owned by a
Turkish businessman. But neither Flynn nor his company had previously filed
paperwork with the Justice Department, which requires more extensive
transparency about work that benefits foreign governments and political
interests.
Trump fired Flynn last month for misleading Vice President Mike Pence and
other administration officials about his contacts with Russia's ambassador
to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak. As a key member of Trump's transition team last
December, Flynn spoke by phone several times with Kislyak during the period
when former President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the U
.S. and levied new sanctions in response to Russian election-related hacking.
According to the new paperwork, Flynn's firm took on the Turkish-related
lobbying work last August while he was a top Trump campaign surrogate. Flynn
's consulting firm said its lobbying work ended in November, when the
company ceased operations.
Flynn Intel disclosed in its filing that the company was invited by its
Turkish client, Ekim Alptekin, to meet with Turkish officials in New York in
mid-September. Among those officials, the documents said, were Turkey's
ministers of foreign affairs and energy. Flynn's company did not name the
officials but reported the two worked for Turkey's government "to the best
of Flynn Intel Group's current understanding."
In late October and early November, Flynn wrote an op-ed promoting Turkey's
political and business affairs that was later published in The Hill, a
Washington-based political newspaper. In the new filing, Flynn disclosed
that in writing the op-ed, he relied on research conducted as part of the
Inovo BV contract.
But Flynn's filing emphasized that neither Inovo BV nor the Turkish
government directed him to write the article. He also said he was not paid
for the op-ed. | T*********t

2）"...was fired from..." When a report can't even get the basic fact
straight, it loses all credibility.
Next.
