DUBAI DUETS
Late Friday, Department of Justice lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel were attempting to determine if former President Bill Clinton had registered as an “Agent of a Foreign Principal.”
Federal statute requires that anyone – even a former President – doing political or public affairs work on behalf of a foreign country, agency or official must register with the Department, and essentially update his status every six months. It was not clear the Clinton had done so.
If his status is less clear, here is what we do know: If Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not know about her husband’s standing with the United Arab Emirates and with Dubai World Ports, members of her Senate staff most assuredly did.
“There were enough people in the Clintons’ orbit who were potentially going to be part of the deal,” says an employee of a firm that does work for both Clintons. “We were pursuing work on the ports deal, and we cleared our participation with Clinton’s office. We didn’t want there to be a conflict.”
