Donald Trump’s controversial phone call from Taiwan was reportedly arranged by a lobbyist with a familiar name — former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole.
Dole, 93, has been working for the Taiwanese government as a foreign agent, the New York Times reported.
The former Kansas senator, who ran against Bill Clinton in 1996, helped establish the high-level US-Taiwan contact. It drew a complaint from China, which considers Taiwan part of its territory.
Dole’s law firm was paid $140,000 from May to October for the lobbying work.
