A former New York Times journalist and Editorial Director for MSNBC lobbied on behalf of the same Russian government international investment fund recently sanctioned by the United States, The National Pulse can reveal.
Davidson Goldin provided the Russian Direct Investment Fund - a sovereign wealth fund established while Vladimir Putin was Prime Minister - with media outreach and public relations.
The Russian President "And his inner circle of cronies have long relied on RDIF and Dmitriev to raise funds abroad, including in the United States," continued the agency's report.
Despite RDIF's clear ties to the Russian government, Goldin, an alum of mainstream media outlets that continue to spread debunked "Russia Collusion" stories about President Donald Trump, lobbied on behalf of the fund, as Foreign Agent Registration Act filings reveal.
Among the activities Goldin's firm engaged in on behalf of the investment fund was "Discussing RDIF with reporters/editors" and "Answer[ing] questions from reporters."
The lucrative lobbying arrangement followed Goldin's stint as MSNBC Editorial Director, whereby he "Was responsible for running all MSNBC news programming as the network's Editorial Director," according to his professional bio.
The unearthed Russia connection with the former MSNBC Editorial Director also follows an exposé highlighting high-profile Democrat lobbyist and donor John Raffaelli, who previously severed as a Managing Trustee of the Democratic National Committee, as a lobbyist for the Russian investment fund.
