“They see a new president, a Republican, and they’d like to develop a closer relationship,” Dole, the only former Republican presidential nominee to endorse Trump, said.
In total, the group has paid Dole’s law firm approximately $200,000 since November of last year. According to public documents, Dole advocated on behalf of the Taiwanese government to U.S. officials including former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Department of Homeland Security secretaries Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff, and former Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte during that time.
The revelation of Dole’s involvement fueled renewed criticism of the way in which foreign affairs are being handled by Trump.
