DANA THOMPSON, A FORMER LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR AND CHIEF COUNSEL TO REP. MAXINE WATERS, REGISTERED AS A LOBBYIST ON BEHALF A HOST OF CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY-LINKED ENTITIES, THE NATIONAL PULSE CAN REVEAL.
Thompson, who also served as Chief of Staff for Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, was a former Principal at lobbying behemoth Podesta Group before co-founding Fulcrum Public Affairs, the “only 100% Black and Latinx-owned government relations firm in Washington, DC.”
While at the Podesta Group, the project of Democratic heavyweights John and Tony Podesta, Thompson registered to lobby on behalf of three Chinese Communist Party-linked entities: a controversial telecommunications company, a military proxy, and a propaganda laundering initiative.
His firm at the time, the Podesta Group, made millions from the connections he garnered at taxpayer expense while working in the office of Waters, who ranks one of the “most corrupt members of Congress.”
ZTE.
Over the course of four years, the firm raked in roughly $2,200,000 for conducting lobbying efforts on behalf of ZTE, a Chinese telecommunications company designated as a “national security threat” by the Trump administration.
According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai, ZTE retains “close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and China’s military apparatus.” The company, whose largest shareholder is a Chinese state-owned enterprise, was also fined $1.3 billion by the Trump administration to reverse a ban it received for violating U.S. sanctions against Iran and North Korea.
Despite these ties, for the entire year of 2016, Thompson lobbied on behalf of ZTE on the issue of “U.S.-China trade relations,” ostensibly bolstering ZTE’s ability to access the U.S. market.
