Podesta Group Considering Dropping ‘Podesta’ From Its Name To Keep Clients

The “Podesta Group,” a huge lobbying outfit in Washington D.C., says they’re considering changing their name, after the group and their founder, Tony Podesta, were referenced in Monday’s indictments.

Podesta, a prominent lobbyist — and brother of Clinton presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta — wasn’t mentioned by name in documents charging former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort with failing to report millions in assets from foreign governments, but the Podesta Group was one of the lobbying firms that helped Manafort lobby Congress on behalf of a pro-Putin Ukranian leader.
