Former U.S. Republican Representative Charles Boustany has been outed as the newest lobbyist of the Turkish government's long list of lobbyists in the U.S. capital.

The Turkish government has in recent years accelerated its spending to buy the services of more influential players in the United States, both to counter the powerful Gülen Movement's lobbying activities and to reach out to the Trump presidency for many regional issues, including Syrian-Kurdish policymaking. The Turkish government accuses Fethullah Gülen, exiled Turkish preacher, as the main culprit behind the failed coup attempt. Gülen denies these charges.



Shame

Isn’t he a doctor? Do I have him mixed up with someone else? Why would he not return to practice medicine? What is it about DC that makes people unable to leave it?

If he was lobbying for Turkey while in office, then this is a big deal. If only after he left office, he’s just another political whore lobbyist.

He retired as a surgeon before running for Congress due to arthritic hands.
