Former Trump administration official #Kellyanne #Conway has registered as a #foreign #agent representing Ukrainian billionaire Victor #Pinchuk's foundation, new foreign lobbying disclosure reports show.
In 2015, the Ukrainian steel magnate donated $150,000 to former President Donald Trump's charitable organization to book the then-presidential candidate to speak at a conference in Kyiv.
The donation was later reportedly investigated by special counsel Robert #Mueller's team in connection with their probe into Trump's and his campaign's alleged role in Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to The New York Times.
Mueller's final report did not specifically address this donation.
Yalta European Strategy's annual gathering, also known as #YES, is the same conference that Trump attended virtually in 2015,
allegedly in exchange for Pinchuk's donation.
Conway's role as an agent for Pinchuk's foundation also includes engaging U.S. political leaders and experts to "explain the importance of Ukraine to the rules-based order and the protection of democratic principles,"
and contributing to "raising awareness among US decision makers of Ukrainians' fight for freedom and the Russian illegal war of aggression," according to the disclosure filing.
She is also tasked with assisting with organizing meetings between U.S. political leaders and Ukrainian soldiers and veterans,
and to keep Pinchuk informed of the process and achievements,
per the disclosure filing.
Conway is set to be paid $50,000 a month for her services throughout the contract, which runs from July 25 through Nov. 14, 2024, with an option to extend it, according to their service agreement.
