Giuliani Courts Business Abroad While Working for Trump

December 13, 2018 · 7:15 am ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “The government-run Bahrain News Agency featured a photo of Mr. Giuliani meeting in a royal palace with King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. The story said the king discussed ‘Bahraini-U.S. relations’ with Mr. Giuliani, who was described as leading a ‘high-level U.S. delegation.’ But Mr. Giuliani was not in Bahrain, a country with a record of human rights abuses, on official business.”

“He was there to seek a lucrative security consulting contract with the government. The trip was part of a concerted push Mr. Giuliani has undertaken in the last few weeks to win business from governments around the world — including in Africa and South America — for a firm he owns called Giuliani Security and Safety.”

Said Giuliani: “I’m probably the most ethical person you ever met.”
