Gregory Craig, the former Obama White House counsel, was charged by a federal grand jury with making false statements and concealing material information about his work in private practice lobbying on behalf of the Ukrainian government
According to the 22-page indictment, Craig was aware of federal requirements to register as a foreign lobbyist but didn’t want to do it “at least in part because he believed doing so could prevent him or others at [his] law firm from taking positions in the federal government in the future.”
“These disclosures, as well as the fact of registration itself, would have undermined the report and Craig’s perceived independence,” the indictment said.
