On Monday, news broke that Tony Podesta, the powerful lobbyist and co-founder of the Podesta Group along with his brother, former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, has come under investigation by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and is stepping down from his position.
The Podesta Group held a firm-wide meeting Monday morning at which Podesta announced his decision to step down, according to Politico. The company will now be headed by firm CEO Kimberley Fritts, who will join a senior member for the company to launch a new firm, a plan the company claimed had been discussed for several months.
