A spokeswoman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) this week registered as a foreign agent of a former president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, belatedly detailing work she performed for the politician between 2018 and 2020.
The spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, made the disclosure following contact from the Justice Department, according to her attorney, Michael Sherwin. She began her work in 2018 as a volunteer in the post-Soviet country, Sherwin said, and was ultimately paid $25,000 over the course of two years. She received her first payment, of $10,000 in October 2018, in cash, according to her filing. She stayed for free for six weeks in an apartment owned by a Saakashvili associate in Tbilisi, the Georgian capital.
“Her efforts included writing op-eds, reaching out to supporters and officials, and advocating on his behalf in Georgia and in the United States,” Sherwin said. “The work ended in 2020. Ms. Pushaw was notified recently by the DOJ that her work on behalf of Mr. Saakashvilli likely required FARA registration. Ms. Pushaw filed for the registration retroactively as soon as she was made aware.”

You mean like the deep state going after the Biden clan for being foreign agents?.
If you want a bout of depression, read about all of the people (and/or bots) on Twitter saying this means DeSantis is in bed with Putin.
Not realizing that Georgia != Russia...
Then again, liberals are stupid, so it’s no surprise.
Why do people roll over for spies and propagandists? Always a quick excuse, dismissive comment.
You so consistently say the dumbest things.
I notice you didn’t post anything that refuted my comment. LOL.
Why bother?
The left fears and hates Ron DeSantis.
