Former Giuliani aide files to lobby for Kosovo

Posted by on Nov. 14, 2019

A former Rudy Giuliani aide who is leading a super PAC supporting President Trump is leveraging his connections to benefit the government of Kosovo − for a hefty fee.

Jake Menges has launched his own Florida-based lobbying firm, Global Strategic Advisory Group LLC, a month after joining Keep Florida Great, a super PAC supporting President Trump. 

In October, Menges left his role with the law firm Greenberg Traurig − also Giuliani's former firm − to lead Keep Florida Great. Menges worked for the Great America PAC backing Trump in 2016 after leaving Ben Carson's presidential campaign.

The government of Kosovo retained Menges and his new firm for $90,000 in October, per his Foreign Agents Registration Act filing. 

According to the filing, Kosovo is hoping Menges can connect the country's foreign ministry to U.S. government officials and facilitate communications.
