Before Trump meeting, Hungary hired a powerhouse K Street firm

The government of Hungary hired a powerhouse K Street firm just before the country’s controversial and authoritarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, had a meeting last week with President Donald Trump in the White House.

Lobbying and law firm Greenberg Traurig signed on to represent the Embassy of Hungary for $100,000 for six months of work, new Justice Department documents show. The disclosures included a contract for work dated April 26, just on the cusp of the meeting that took place May 13.

The disclosure says the firm will provide “advice and counsel related to foreign relations issues, as well as educating government and opinion leaders regarding the same. The signed contract was received by Greenberg Traurig on May 8, 2019 via Email.”
