His firm, Giuliani Partners, has had contracts with the government of Qatar and the Canadian company that is building the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Giuliani has given paid speeches to a variety of groups, including an Iranian opposition group that until 2012 was on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations. • Will you agree to privately release to the transition team a full list of every client you have served as a paid consulted for? o Will you provide the dates for when you consulted with each client? o Will you provide the amount you were paid for each consulting client? • Will you agree to privately release to the campaign a full list of every paid speech you have given and who paid you to give each speech? o Will you provide the dates for each speech? o Will you provide the name of each entity that paid for a speech? • Will you agree to privately release to the campaign a full list of law and legal clients since finishing your time as the Mayor? o Will you provide the dates for when your legal services were attained? o Will you provide the name of each organization and individual who acquired your legal services? • Will you make any or all of information available to the President’s team so that proper accountability measures can be established? Business Conflict of Interests Background: Many conflict of interest allegations have been levied against Giuliani for his plethora of business connections. • Given overlap in previous cases between your client and the relevant government agency, how would you reassure the American people that you are not giving former clients preferential treatment? • Will you agree to cease any and all ongoing business relationships during the time that you could potentially serve in the administration? Work With Foreign Entities Background: Giuliani has given paid speeches to foreign entities and has an extensive array of foreign clients. • How would you respond to those who say that your receiving of money from foreign entities for paid speeches generates the same questions of conflict of interest that hounded Hillary Clinton? • Are there any potential conflicts of interest with respect to foreign business operations or relationships that we should be aware of? • Will you agree to cease any ongoing or existing relationships with non-U.S. entities? Eastern European Business Conflicts Background: Many of Giuliani’s law practices have done extensive work in Eastern Europe, specifically Kazakhstan and Russia. • Given the criticism surrounding Mr. Trump’s praise of Vladimir Putin and your extensive business ties in Eastern Europe, how would you avoid being seen as in the pocket of Eastern European interests? Bernard Kerik Background: Giuliani’s close friend and colleague Bernard Kirk has been involved in a multitude of scandals, ranging from tax fraud to corruption in NYPD. • Do you see Bernard Kerik having an official role in your department, and if so how would you deal with the criticism surrounding scandals he has been involved in in the NYPD and improper dealings with foreign entities. • Would your participation in the administration be contingent upon Kerik’s ability to participate as well? Alan Placa Background: Alan Placa is Giuliani’s close personal friend, but was accused of molesting boys as a priest and was then hired at Giuliani Partners after being defended by Giuliani. • How much counsel do you receive from Alan Placa, and how would you handle potential criticism of this relationship? Diplomatic Decorum Background: As Mayor of New York Giuliani infamously kicked PLO leader Yasser Arafat out of a dinner and refused to invite Cuban dictator Fidel Castro to dinner, both of which were criticized as breaches of international diplomacy. • A significant aspect of being the lead diplomat for the United States is the preservation of decorum and respect in dealing with foreign leaders. In 1995 you had two incidents with Yasser Arafat and Fidel Castro that were perceived as breaches in decorum. How would you reconcile personal or even professional differences with foreign leaders to maintain decorum and preserve respect for the United States? Policy Questions Generic Lead Diplomat • As lead diplomat, which diplomatic tool would you utilize most in your interactions with other states on behalf of the United States? • What do you view as the biggest issues the next SOS should address on behalf of the President? Iran Nuclear Deal Policy Background: Mr. Trump has criticized the Iranian Nuclear Deal on and the deal is extremely unpopular among the certain constituencies. • Mr. Trump has criticized the Iranian Nuclear Deal frequently, as lead diplomat what would your objectives be in establishing a new arrangement to ensure that Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon? • There has been intense pressure domestically to restore sanctions against Iran, but the lifting of sanctions has thus far been the only compelling incentive to bring Iran to the table. Would you utilize a different tool to achieve negotiations with Iran or would you advocate for increased sanctions? • Given that Iranian leaders have made hostile comments against Israel, how would you ensure that our Israeli allies are reassured that we are keeping their best interests in mind when dealing with Iran without the appearance that the United States is beholden to Israeli interests in the eyes of your Iranian counterparts? Syria Policy Background: The current conflict in Syria is considered to be the most dramatic convergence point of ongoing American military engagements and Russia's foreign policy. Mr. Trump’s strategy and policy towards Syria, and the greater Middle East will be vital to the sustainability of several foreign states. • A major point of contention between the United States and Russia with regards to objectives in Syria has been the continued leadership of Basar Al-Assad. Obama’s red line policy heightened these tensions, but his failure to act made him look weak. Would you advocate to remove Assad from power as is consistent with current U.S. foreign policy or would you try to work with him to restore stability in Syria? • Russia and the United States infamously were able to work together to dismantle Syria’s chemical weapons. What other areas do you see such cooperation in Syria occurring between our two countries despite significant underlying issues? • Do you believe that the ongoing civil war and instability in Syria is a compelling interest of United States foreign policy? ISIS Background: Mr. Trump has been intentionally vague in his plan to address ISIS and as a result the SOS role may have an extremely important public facing role in the conflict. • As Secretary of State, what role do you see yourself having in facilitating international cooperation to combat ISIS globally? • What do you see as the areas of highest risk of being a threat to ISIS, and how would you work with international partners to secure these areas? Russia Policy • The New START Treaty, which came into effect in 2011, is set to expire in 2021 which means that the groundwork for future negotiations should begin during this administration. What steps can be taken over the next four years to lay the best foundation for these talks, and what do you see as the overarching objective of these discussions? • Russia has recently made aggressive moves against our NATO allies, prompting fears that the United States will not live up to its obligations under the treaty to treat an attack on any ally as an attack on itself. What diplomatic reassurances would you offer our partners, and how would you work with Russia to de-escalate tensions in Europe? • Mr. Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin has been a source of intense criticism during the election cycle. How would you ensure that the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Russia improves without ceding ground to Russia or appearing weak? China Policy Background: Mr. Trump has taken a harsh stance on China as an future economic partner with the U.S. and has indicated he may ignore Asian allies in the near term. The SOS will be retooling the ClintonObama “asia pivot” that the American people rejected. • The United States recently announced that it will deploy THAAD anti-missile technology in South Korea to defend our Asian allies from North Korea. This declaration angered China, which has threatened to take countermeasures should THAAD be actively deployed. How would you effectively balance the need to protect our Asian allies with the fear that China will react adversely? • China has made aggressive land-grabbing moves in the South China Sea, even going so far as to create artificial islands to claim more contested waters. International rulings have gone against China’s actions and claims, to no avail since they are not enforceable. What coalitions would you create, or negotiations would you hope to facilitate with China, to counter this threat? • Mr. Trump’s threat to slap large tariffs on Chinese imports could prompt China to shut off market access and raise tariffs on American imports. How do you foresee upholding Mr. Trump’s pledge to renegotiate our trading patterns with China? Mexico Policy Background: Mr. Trump has taken an aggressive stance on Mexico as both a trade partner and as a geographic neighbor with land borders. His commitment to building the wall and renegotiating NAFTA will likely involve any SOS in the administration. • In light of Mr. Trump’s agenda of stopping American companies from moving to Mexico and his plan to build a wall, how would you ensure good relations with Mexico? • Are you willing to help Mr. Trump uphold his pledge to renegotiate NAFTA? Lack of Experience Background: Giuliani has only limited to no international affairs experience. • How would you respond to those who say you do not have any foreign policy or international relations experience? TRUMP – PENCE CRITICISM No Known Criticism Of Trump Or Pence. GENERAL CONTROVERSY Foreign Ties In 2011 Giuliani Was Paid For A Speech By An Exiled Iranian Political Party Called The Mujahedin E-Khalq, Known As The MEK, Calling On State To Remove It From Its List Of Terror Organizations. “In 2011, an exiled Iranian political party called the Mujahedin e-Khalq, known as the MEK, paid Giuliani to give a speech in Washington calling on the State Department to remove the group from its list of terrorist organizations. The MEK recruited a host of other formal officials to its cause and succeeded in reversing the terrorist designation in 2012.” (Isaac Arnsdorf, “Giuliani Took Money From Qatar, Venezuela, Iranian Exiles,” Politico 11/15/16) Giuliani Provided “Security Advice” For The Government Of Qatar. “Looking to staff up his administration, the president-elect is reportedly leaning toward nominating former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as his next secretary of state. Guiliani’s ties to Qatar would be among a host of potential conflicts of interest that would come into play should that nomination take place. … But the The Wall Street Journal reported in 2007 that one of those clients was the government of Qatar, to which Giuliani provided ‘security advice.’” (Sam Stein, Paul Blumenthal And Jason Cherkis, “Rudy Giuliani s Conflicts Of Interest Would Place Donald Trump In A Bind,” The Huffington Post, 11/15/16) Giuliani’s Firm Lobbied For Citgo. “The Houston-based law firm Giuliani joined as a named partner in 2005 lobbied in Texas for Citgo, the U.S. subsidiary of the Venezuelan state oil company then controlled by President Hugo Chavez, The New York Times reported in 2007.” (Isaac Arnsdorf, “Giuliani Took Money From Qatar, Venezuela, Iranian Exiles,” Politico 11/15/16) MEK Giuliani Is A Prominent Official To Advocate On Behalf Of The Controversial Mujahideen-e Khalq. “For years, Giuliani has been one of the most prominent American officials to advocate on behalf of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), a Marxist Iranian opposition group that claims to be the legitimate government of Iran and resembles a cult. A Treasury Department investigation in 2012 examined whether speaking fees paid by several MEK front groups to a long list of U.S. politicians, including Giuliani, violated laws on Americans receiving money from designated terrorist organizations. The State Department added the MEK to the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 1997 due to its involvement in the killing of U.S. citizens in Iran in the 1970s and an attack on U.S. soil in 1992. The group, which has about 3,000 members living in exile in Iraq, has not conducted a confirmed act of terrorism in more than a decade. In the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the United States mostly disarmed the MEK and provided its members with protection at their Iraqi base, Camp Ashraf.” (Josh Rogin, “Giuliani Was Paid Advocate For Shady Iranian Dissident Group,” The Washington Post, 11/15/16) Many Of Giuliani’s Clients Are Foreign Entities Giuliani Promotes The Fact He Has Foreign Consulting Contracts, Including Ones With The Government Of Mexico And TransCanada, Of Keystone XL Fame. “Since almost the minute he left office, Giuliani has been using the global fame he acquired on 9/11 and its aftermath to rake in millions of dollars from consulting with ‘corporations, individuals, and governments’ (as his website describes his client base) on security matters, financial audits and crisis management. … Other prominent clients include TransCanada, the developer of the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline Project (which Obama opposes, further damaging Rudy’s economic interests); Purdue Pharma, which manufacturers Oxycontin, once Rush Limbaugh’s drug of choice: Nextel, the wireless services company now owned by Sprint; Shell Oil; and the Government of Mexico.” (Tim Shorrock, “Giuliani s Love For His Country Is Equal To The Money He Makes,” The Nation, 2/25/15) In 2015 It Was Reported That Giuliani Was Hired By “El Salvador’s Business Community” To “Advise The Salvadoran Government On How To Curb Soaring Crime.” “On Dec. 2, El Salvador’s business community announced it had hired former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to advise the Salvadoran government on how to curb soaring crime driven by lawless gangs and rampant corruption.” (Laura C. Mallonee, “Rudy Giuliani Will Advise El Salvador On Security, Justice Reform,” Latin America News Dispatch 1/12/15) In 2014 Giuliani Gave A Speech In Guatemala City At A Forum Organized By The Guatemalan Development Foundation. “Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani recently visited Guatemala City to speak at a forum organized by the Guatemalan Development Foundation.” (Mike Allison, “The Savior Rudy Giuliani Goes To Guatemala City,” CentralAmericanPolitics.Blogspot.com 10/9/14) • Giuliani Was Also Hired To Advise On Crime In The Country. “Guatemala’s business sector also hired Giuliani to advise on crime earlier in 2014.” (Laura C. Mallonee, “Rudy Giuliani Will Advise El Salvador On Security, Justice Reform,” Latin America News Dispatch 1/12/15) • The Group Has Been Described As A “Conservative Business Association.” “In an address last year to a conservative business association in Guatemala about crime, for example, [Giuliani] warned that ‘you are not going to solve it with schools, libraries, nice neighborhoods and sports teams. You have to emphasize law enforcement.’” (Tim Shorrock, “Giuliani s Love For His Country Is Equal To The Money He Makes,” The Nation 2/25/15) Giuliani Advised The Brazilian Government On Crime In Advance Of The 2016 Rio Olympics. “Giuliani is similarly advising the Brazilian government on security for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, although the games’ Security Director Luiz Fernando Corrêa has expressed some skepticism.” (Laura C. Mallonee, “Rudy Giuliani Will Advise El Salvador On Security, Justice Reform,” Latin America News Dispatch 1/12/15) Giuliani Advised The Colombian Government On Crime Issues. “Within the last few years, though, Colombia has seen a crime uptick, prompting officials to consult with Giuliani. ‘I just got back from Colombia,’ he said on CBS This Morning last May. ‘I advise the Colombian government how to get crime down. Crime is down 23 percent in Bogota. I am very proud of that.’” (Laura C. Mallonee, “Rudy Giuliani Will Advise El Salvador On Security, Justice Reform,” Latin America News Dispatch 1/12/15) Giuliani Consulted For The Government Of Honduras. “[Giuliani is] a consultant in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, the very countries where right-wing governments, traffickers and/or gangs are driving children and teenagers across the U.S. border.” (Wayne Barrett, “What Rudy Giuliani Knows About Love A Response To His Doesn t Love America Critique Of Obama,” New York Daily News, 2/20/15) Giuliani Advised Chile On Crime And Helped Political Candidates In The Dominican Republic. “Other work was through another company of his, Giuliani Security.

Giuliani‘s life would involve political consulting for a local election in Eastern Europe? Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor and former presidential candidate, called a news conference this morning in Times Square to appear beside Vitali Klitschko, a former boxing and kickboxing champion who is running for mayor of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.” (Sewell Chan, “Giuliani Weighs In On Race For Mayor (In Ukraine),” The New York Times, 5/7/08) Giuliani’s Firm Was Hired To Advise Mexico City On Reducing Crime, And Ultimately Failed And Was Not Offered A New Contract Giuliani, Along With Bernard Kerik, Signed A Contract To Advise Mexico City On Reducing The Epidemic Of Crime. “Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani announced yesterday that his consulting firm had signed a contract to advise Mexico City's police officials on crime-reduction techniques to deal with an epidemic of kidnappings, murders and robberies. Mr. Giuliani, who formed his consulting firm, the Giuliani Group, after leaving office, said he would draw on his experience tackling crime in New York City to help the residents of Mexico's sprawling capital. Mr. Giuliani said he and his former police commissioner, Bernard B. Kerik, would meet with officials in Mexico City next month.” (Lydia Polgreen, “Giuliani Firm Gets Contract To Advise Mexico City Police,” The New York Times, 10/11/02) Giuliani Would Not Disclose The Amount Or Source Of The Contract. “The contract, the first international consulting deal for Mr. Giuliani's firm, is being paid for by a group of businessmen in Mexico City; municipal officials refused to name them.

Mr. Slim has been working with Mexico City's mayor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, to bring order to the city. Mr. Slim has said that he would form a foundation to spend $100 million to help clean up its congested center.” (Lydia Polgreen, “Giuliani Firm Gets Contract To Advise Mexico City Police,” The New York Times, 10/11/02) Giuliani’s Efforts Failed To Clean Up Mexico City, Saw Homicide Drop Less Than 1 Percent, And Kidnapping And Extortion Were On The Rise. “Two years later, the cheering has stopped. In January 2005, Mexico City's new police chief, Joel Ortega, told local reporters, ‘I am no fan of Giuliani.’ Far from the 67% drop in homicides achieved during Mr. Giuliani's mayoralty in New York, which was touted in a Giuliani Partners press release announcing its Mexico City contract, the homicide rate in Mexico's capital slipped less than 1% in 2004. Kidnappings in which the victim is driven from ATM to ATM to withdraw money are on the rise, with some security firms saying Mexico is now rivaling Colombia as kidnapping capital of the world.” (Daniela Gerson, “In Mexico City, Few Cheers For Giuliani,” The New York Sun, 4/11/05) Giuliani Not Offered A Follow Up Contract To Implement Recommendations, Mexicans Were “Sharply Critical” Of Effort. “The Giuliani team ended up being paid less than the $4.3 million that was widely reported as the price for the work, and it was not hired for a follow-up project to implement its recommendations. In interviews with the Sun, several former Mexican police officials and current officers were sharply critical of the Giuliani effort …” (Daniela Gerson, “In Mexico City, Few Cheers For Giuliani,” The New York Sun, 4/11/05) In 2006 Giuliani Worked On Behalf Of A Spanish Bank With Ties To Hugo Chavez Looking To Buy Part Of An American Bank In 2006 Giuliani Worked On Behalf Of Banco Santander, A Spanish Bank, When They Were “Attempting To Buy About 20 Percent Of Sovereign Bancorp Of Philadelphia.” “Giuliani typically has not advertised his involvement in Bracewell & Giuliani cases. An exception was his work in February 2006 on behalf of a Spanish bank, Banco Santander, for what the law firm termed an ‘independent review’ of Santander's compliance with state and federal regulations in attempting to buy about 20 percent of Sovereign Bancorp of Philadelphia.” (Andrew Zajac, “Giuliani Speaking Fees Draw Scrutiny,” Chicago Tribune, 2/7/07) Santander’s Investment Was Opposed By A Group Of Sovereign Investors, But Supported By Jay Sidhu, The CEO Of Sovereign. “The investment was bitterly opposed by a group of Sovereign shareholders but welcomed by Sovereign CEO Jay Sidhu, who wanted to use the infusion of money from Santander to buy another bank.” (Andrew Zajac, “Giuliani Speaking Fees Draw Scrutiny,” Chicago Tribune, 2/7/07) NOTE: Santander Had Donated To Hugo Chavez's Campaigns And Has Connections To Iran And Cuba. "As a result, says this source, Bracewell ignored dubious dealings by Santander, such as its donations to Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez’s political campaigns and its connections to Cuba and Iran (Santander was fined by the U.S. in 2004 for doing business with Cuba and has come under scrutiny for trading with an Iranian bank blacklisted by the U.S. for links to terrorism), not to mention the fact that its C.E.O. had been investigated for corruption. 'I questioned why Rudy stuck his neck out like that,' the insider says. 'Obviously it was for a fee, but with his long-term aspirations there didn’t seem like a lot of upside.' (Bracewell says that the firm was hired by Santander to assess the proposed investment and found that the bank 'had fully and completely complied with all laws relevant to the transaction.')" (Michael Shnayerson, "Risky Business A Tale Of Two Giulianis," Vanity Fair, 1/08) NOTE: In November 2006 Giuliani “Delivered A Speech At The Jay S.

Applied DNA was backed at the time by Richard Langley Jr., who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in 1999.

The matter could heighten pressures on Mr. Giuliani's presidential campaign to be more forthcoming about the candidate's stable of businesses, their clients and the services they provide. In September 2005, a subsidiary of closely held Giuliani Partners LLC signed a consulting agreement with Delta Air Lines Inc. to provide restructuring advice during the carrier's bankruptcy reorganization, drawing more than $5 million in fees for the service. Then, in January 2006, a separate Giuliani Partners division Giuliani Security & Safety signed a $2 million consulting deal with Command Security Corp., a tiny provider of security-guard services that had been left with $1 million in unpaid bills when Delta and Northwest Airlines Corp. filed for bankruptcy-court protection in September 2005.

A nationally recognized legal expert on sexual abuse, Placa, 57, was a chief architect of the diocesan policy and one of its chief executors until he stepped down as vice chancellor in mid-April.

Alan J. Placa’s shadow hovers throughout the grand jury report. Monsignor Placa was the architect of the diocese’s legal strategy, a national expert in the field and the crucial member of the intervention team. Several months after the panel was ended in April, he was suspended from the ministry after being accused of abusing children.” (Daniel J. Wakin, “Victims React to Report on L.I.

Now, the reality of politics is that foreign powers do, and sometimes we intervene in their elections. So, in an idealistic world, the reality is that foreign powers should stay the heck out of our election. We should stay the heck out of their elections,’ he said. ‘But, gosh knows, President Obama was doing everything he could to unseat [Israeli Prime Minister] Bibi Netanyahu. His aides were over there, his pollsters were over there. His fundraisers were giving money to the opposition. America intervened directly in the Israeli election to defeat Bibi Netanyahu.’ He added: ‘So it’s a little bit disingenuous for us to get upset that a foreign power is intervening in our election, when President Obama interfered in the election of Bibi Netanyahu.’” (Igor Bobic, “Rudy Giuliani Russia Shouldn t Intervene In Our Election,” The Huffington Post, 7/27/16) Comments On Black Lives Matter In June 2016, Giuliani Said The Phrase “Black Lives Matter” Is “Inherently Racist.” “Giuliani said the phrase ‘Black Lives Matter,’ which has been the key slogan for those advocating against police brutality and for criminal justice reform, is ‘inherently racist.’ ‘Of course black lives matter, and they matter greatly,’ he said. ‘But when you focus in on 1 percent of less than 1 percent of the murder that's going on in America and you make it a national thing, and all of you in the media make it much bigger than the black kid that's getting killed in Chicago every 14 hours, you create a disproportion.’” (Emily Schultheis, “Giuliani Blacks Must Say ‘What They re Doing Among Themselves About The Crime Problem, ” CBS News, 6/10/16) In November 2014, Giuliani Said It Was “Disappointing That [The Media] Is Not Discussing The Fact That 93 Percent Of Blacks In America Are Killed By Other Blacks,” Stoking Controversy. “Giuliani had his own concerns, largely ignoring the importance of local law enforcement helping reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. ‘[T]he fact is, I find it very disappointing that you are not discussing the fact that 93 percent of blacks in America are killed by other blacks,’ the former Republican mayor said. ‘We’re talking about the exception here [in Ferguson].’” (Steve Benen, “Giuliani Stokes Controversy With Comments On Race,” MSNBC 11/24/14) Yasser Arafat In 1995, Giuliani Ejected Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat From A Concert At The Lincoln Center, Which Bill Clinton Called An “Embarrassing Breach Of International Diplomacy.” “On Monday October 23, 1995, Mayor Rudy Giuliani noisily ejected PLO leader Yasser Arafat from a concert at Lincoln Center that had been scheduled to entertain world leaders in town for the 50th anniversary of the United Nations.

Giuliani. Yet, despite the glittery galas and concerts that Mr. Castro missed at Mr. Giuliani's behest, it is something more profoundly prosaic that galls him about the Mayor's tenure. It's not just because he didn't invite me to dinner,’ the Cuban President said with a grin, ‘but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.’” (Lizette Alvarez, “Giuliani?
