Egypt’s former lobbyist in DC is being investigated, but it seems we’re in the clear: Washington lobbyist Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, sources told NBC News. “The sources said the investigation into Podesta and his company began as more of a fact-finding mission about the [European Centre for a Modern Ukraine] and Manafort's role in the campaign, but has now morphed into a criminal inquiry into whether the firm violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as FARA.” The Podesta Group was lobbying for the Egyptian government in Washington from 2007 until 2012.
