Richard Grennell's sugar daddy. In 2016, Grenell wrote [several](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/russia-ramps-up-the-propaganda-machine) [articles](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/10/russia-still-offense-eastern-europe/) defending the oligarch, a Moldovan politician named Vladimir Plahotniuc, but did not disclose that he was being paid, according to records and interviews. Grenell also did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which generally requires people to disclose work in the U.S. on behalf of foreign politicians.
