Days before Democrats secured control of the US Senate, Jennifer Forsch - a Washington lobbyist married to the head of the main fund-raising organization for Senate Democrats - officially registered as a foreign agent representing the United Arab Emirates.
On October 30, Porsha, a partner in the lobbying firm Post Guide Strategies, filed a request to represent the United Arab Emirates embassy in Washington under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a US law that requires individuals and entities representing foreign interests to register with the Department of Justice and disclose their activities, relationships and financial compensation.
The contract includes an upfront payment of $100,000 followed by monthly payments of $100,000.
Her husband, JB Porsche, is a longtime senior adviser to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and serves as president of Senate Majority PAC, the political action committee responsible for raising hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Democratic senators.
