Kellyanne Conway is now a lobbyist for Ukrainian businessman and oligarch Victor Pinchuk’s philanthropic foundation.
Conway registered her $50,000-a-month contract with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation with the Justice Department on Friday, a requirement under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Conway will “engage U.S. lawmakers, and experts, and opinion makers, to explain the importance of Ukraine to the rules-based order and the protection of democratic principles,” in addition to “raising awareness” about “Ukrainians’ fight for freedom and the Russian illegal war of aggression,” according to the contract, which started on July 25 and will expire a week after November’s election.
Conway will also encourage stakeholders to attend the annual Yalta European Strategy meeting in Kyiv, Ukraine from Sept. 13-14.
Pinchuk, who derives his wealth from an investing and financial services firm, as well as his pipe, wheel, and steel-producing company and media properties, has well-established ties to former President Donald Trump, donating $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation in 2015 before Trump appeared in a video for the Yalta European Strategy meeting that year.
Conway, who was a campaign and White House aide to Trump, denied a report this week that she was the source of negative stories regarding Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Trump’s vice presidential nominee, who has been contending with criticism of a statement in 2021 he made claiming Democrats were “a bunch of childless cat ladies miserable at their own lives.”
During Trump’s veepstakes, Conway spoke in favor of the likes of Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), with Rubio, a high-profile member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, espousing more pro-Ukraine policy positions than Vance.
“When it comes to concerned people questioning the vetting or selection of J.D. Vance, the calls are coming in, not going out,” Conway told the Bulwark this week. “I’m not calling them and saying this is bad. People are asking me. They’re not just asking me. They’re asking lots of people.”
Vance shares Trump’s America First approach to foreign policy, telling the Republican National Convention last month, “We will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace.”
“No more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the American taxpayer,” he said.
Smart thing she did that. Dirtbag Hunter dirty deals with Crooked foreign governments and he never registered as a foreign agent under the FARA act and got away with it
““No more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the American taxpayer,” he said.”….. free ride only for Ukraine where BlackRock’s Lary Fink put lots of money and the USA taxpayers have to pay for protection of his investment . “Free ride ” also for Israel to wich the US seams like its colony. Both countries has free higher education, but there is no money for American youth but there is plenty for Ukraine and Israel . It is sick . It is not normal and Trump will continue do what Biden is doing in regards to both these countries. Both Biden and Trump will send American trips to die for NOT OUR wars. You will see.
Ukraine is a totalitarian dictatorship. Fuck that place!
