Spokeswoman for Florida Gov. DeSantis registers as a foreign agent for her previous work for a former president of Georgia, her lawyer tells NBCNews
registered this week as a foreign agent for her previous work for a former president of Georgia, her lawyer told NBC News.
Christina Pushaw worked for former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, a close ally of Ukrainian President, from 2018 to 2020, focusing on the need for free and fair elections in the eastern European country, her attorney, Michael Sherwin, said. Pushaw was paid $25,000 over the more-than-two-year period, which covered her living expenses while she was in Georgia, Sherwin said.
"Her efforts included writing op-eds, reaching out to supporters and officials, and advocating on his behalf in Georgia and in the United States," said Sherwin."Ms. Pushaw was notified recently by the DOJ that her work on behalf of Mr. Saakashvili likely required FARA. Ms. Pushaw filed for the registration retroactively as soon as she was made aware."The Department of Justice and Pushaw did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.
