A Guide to theTrump Administration

November 2016

Introduction and Outline

This document provides a first look at the people and players behind the most unlikely presidential campaign in American history. For each person mentioned here, we have included a bio, a photo, and representative in-stitutions and organizations affiliated with that person, so that the reader may better understand the relationships that influence the people who in turn are influencing President Trump.

Like the Trump business organization, the Trump campaign is an opaque web of interlocking relationships. While we have endeavored to make as a thorough a search as possible, with material available in the public record, any such record is bound to be incomplete.

The information in this document is organized as follows:

Power Players

Mike PenceVice President-Elect; Governor of Indiana

Mike Pence was elected as the governor of Indiana in 2012. Prior to serving as governor, he was a six-term Indiana congressman. He has been a proponent of big tax cuts and last year drew national attention for signing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that critics said allowed business-es to discriminate against same-sex couples. Activist groups and some businesses threatened to boycott the state, until Pence signed a “clarification” to the bill that made it clear the bill could not be used as an excuse for discrimination.

Pence is a devout evangelical Christian who regularly speaks about his faith; describing himself as “a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.” He has tak-en a hardline stance against Planned Parenthood. A Pence amendment to defund Planned Parenthood passed the House in 2011. As governor, he signed a bill into law that banned abortions for reasons of genetic anomaly and creat-ed a new requirement to bury or cremate all fetal remains.

Personally, Pence graduated from Hanover College in Ha-nover Indiana in 1981 and received a law degree from the Indiana University McKinney School of Law in 1986. He and his wife, Karen, have a son and two daughters.

Reince PriebusChief of Staff

Reince Priebus has served as Chairman of the Republican National Committee since 2011. Previously, he served as RNC General Counsel from 2009 to 2011 and former Chair-man of the Republican Party of Wisconsin from 2007 to 2009. As one of the top Republican strategists in Wiscon-sin, Priebus has a long professional relationship with Speak-er Paul Ryan. Priebus inherited a $23 million debt at the Republican

7

National Committee, and began repairing relationships with major Republican donors. Following President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election, Priebus convened the Growth and Opportunity Project to review the Republican Party’s poor showing with young voters, women, and Hispanics. Priebus increased outreach to these groups. During the 2016 campaign, President-elect Trump referred to Priebus as “Mr. Switzerland” for his studious neutrali-ty during the Republican primary. Priebus engineered the drafting of a loyalty pledge signed by every Republican presidential candidate, a move which ultimately foreclosed a potential independent run by Trump and unified nearly every Republican candidate behind the ultimate nominee. After the Republican National Convention, Priebus told Wil-liam J. Bennett for a profile in Politico Magazine that ““The job of being chairman entails racking up victories or killing bad ideas that no one will ever know about, herding cats, taking complaints, and keeping your head down and doing the fundamentals of the ground game and fundraising. But I love it and it’s what I’ve done for most of my life.” Priebus began his career as a lawyer with Michael Best & Friedrich LLP in Wisconsin, where he became partner in 2006. He is married to Sally Priebus and has two children.

Steve BannonChief Strategist and Senior Advisor

Bannon is also co-founder and executive chairman of the Government Accountability Institute. Bannon has been a identified as a leader in the “alt-right” movement, and has described Breitbart News as “the plat-form of the alt-right.” Former Breitbart employees, includ-ing former Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro, have described Bannon’s role with the alt-right as follows: “Breitbart has become the alt-right go-to website… pushing white eth-no-nationalism as a legitimate response to political correct-ness, and the comment section turning into a cesspool for white supremacist mememakers.” Shapiro further describes

8

Bannon as “a vindictive, nasty figure, infamous for verbally abusing supposed friends and threatening enemies.” Bannon previously worked at Goldman Sachs. He was in-volved in the financing and production of several films. He is also a former officer of the U.S. Navy. Bannon joined the Trump campaign in August 2016 as the chief executive officer.

Newt GingrichFormer Republican Speaker of the House

Gingrich was the Republican Speaker of the House of Repre-sentatives from 1995 to 1999. He sought the Republican nomi-nation for President in 2012.

He is chairman of the Gingrich Group, a communications and consulting firm that specializes in transformational change, with offices in Atlanta and Washington. He serves as general chair-man of American Solutions for Winning the Future (www.amer-icansolutions.com), is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. and is an honorary chairman of the NanoBusiness Alliance. Gingrich was a news and political analyst for the Fox News Channel, until speculation arose that he was on the shortlist for Trump’s Vice President.

Gingrich was first elected to Congress in 1978 where he served the 6th District of Georgia for twenty years. He gained prom-inence when he and 77 other House members brought ethics charges against Democratic House Speaker Jim Wright. He also with his fellow minority Republicans drafted the Contract with America, which included comprehensive government reform package that concentrated on major policy changes such as tax cuts, tort reform, social security reform, welfare reform and term limits. This contract is widely credited with the 1994 Re-publican sweep.

In 1995, he was elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Represen-tatives, where he served until 1999. He helped to orchestrate two federal government shutdowns between 1995 and 1996. In 1997, he was the first speaker of the House to be punished by the House for ethics violations.

Gingrich is a health advocate. His latest advocacy efforts have focused on the Opioid crisis.

Rudy GiulianiFormer Mayor of NYC

Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York City between 1993 and 2001 and is credited with helping to clean up the city; the overall crime rate fell 57% and the murder rate fell 65%. He gained national attention in 2001 and for his response to 9/11. Prior to serving as mayor, Giuliani held various positions within the Department of Justice.

In 1970, Giuliani joined the office of the U.S. Attorney. At age 29, he was named Chief of the Narcotics Unit and rose to serve as executive U.S. Attorney. In 1975, Giuliani was re-cruited to Washington, D.C., where he was named Associate Deputy Attorney General and chief of staff to the Deputy Attorney General. From 1977 to 1981, Giuliani returned to New York to practice law at Patterson, Belknap, Webb and Tyler.

In 1981, Giuliani was named Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the Department of Justice. As Associate Attorney General, Giuliani supervised all of the US Attorney Offices’ Federal law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the U.S. Marshals.

In 1983, Giuliani was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he spearheaded the effort to jail drug dealers, fight organized crime, break the web of corruption in government, and prosecute white-collar criminals.

Giuliani was first elected as mayor in 1993. He was the “rule of law” candidate and is credited with cleaning up the city. New York City’s law enforcement strategies became models for other cities around the world, particularly the CompStat

10

program, which won the 1996 Innovations in Government Award from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. CompStat allows police to statistically monitor criminal activity on specific street corners as well as citywide, holding precinct commanders accountable for criminal activ-ity in their neighborhoods.

As mayor, he also implemented a welfare-to-work initiative in the country, reduced taxes by $2.5 billion, created the Ad-ministration for Children’s Services in New York City, eliminat-ed principal tenure and launched the New York City Charter School Improvement Fund.

Jeff SessionsSenator of Alabama

Sessions was elected to the United States Senate in 1997. Before becoming the Senator of Alabama, Sessions served as the Assis-tant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama (1975-1977). He was then nominated by President Reagan in 1981 and confirmed by the Senate to serve as the United States Attor-ney for Alabama’s Southern District, a position he held for 12 years. His judicial nomination in 1986 was killed by the Senate Judicia-ry Committee due to his perceived “gross insensitivity” to racial issues. Sessions was then elected Alabama Attorney General in 1995.

As a United States Senator, Sessions has focused his energies on maintaining a strong military, upholding the rule of law, limiting the role of government, and providing tax relief to stimulate economic growth and empowering Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Dubbed a “budget hawk” by the Alabama press, Sen. Sessions was selected for the 112th and 113th Congresses to serve as the Ranking Member on the Senate Budget Committee to restrain the growth of federal spending and make permanent tax cuts that benefit American families. As a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sessions is a leading advocate of confirming federal judges who follow the law and do not legislate from the bench. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sessions is a strong advocate for America’s military.

Sessions also authored the Honoring Every Requirement of Ex-emplary Service (HEROES) Act, which was signed into law in May 2005. This legislation increased the payment received by the fam-ilies of fallen combat soldiers from $12,000 to $100,000 and also

11

increased the maximum servicemen’s life insurance benefit from $250,000 to $400,000.

Sessions played a leading role in ensuring that the Medicare Pre-scription Drug law included a rural health care component that reduced the disparity in Medicare payments. He also joined in efforts to make funding more equal in the Ryan White CARE Act.

He also authored the Paul Coverdell National Forensic Scienc-es Improvement Law of 2000, which authorized badly needed funds for state and local crime labs to reduce the backlog of ballistics, blood, and DNA tests

Mike HuckabeeFormer Governor of Arkansas

Huckabee was the 44th Governor of Arkansas from 1996 until 2007, becoming one of the longest serving Governors in his state’s history, and was only the fourth Republican elected to any statewide office since Reconstruction, serv-ing longer than the other three combined. Huckabee had been Lieutenant Governor for 3 years in July 1996 when his predecessor was forced to resign due to felony convic-tions. He was one of the youngest governors in the country at the time. Huckabee was elected to a full four-year term as governor in 1998, attracting the largest percentage of the vote ever received by a Republican gubernatorial nom-inee in Arkansas, and was re-elected to another four-year term in November 2002.

As governor, he left a legacy of tax cuts, job creation, the reconstruction of his state’s road system, K-16 education reform, and a nationally heralded and duplicated health initiative that focused on the less expensive approach of prevention than the costly big-government approach of in-tervention. His administration fought long-standing corrup-tion in the state’s political machine, resulting in numerous indictments and convictions of powerful legislators and other elected officials.

When running for president this past year, Huckabee re-mained rather outspoken on foreign policy and social issues. He spoke out against cap and trade policy and same-sex marriage. He advocated for immigration reform, forceful military action against the Islamic State and a strong defense of Israel.

12

In his campaign for the Republican nomination for Presi-dent in 2008, he finished second to John McCain. Governor Huckabee was the host of the number one rated weekend show HUCKABEE, on the Fox News Channel, from 2008 until 2015. He also hosted The Huckabee Report – which was heard three times daily across the nation on almost 600 radio stations from 2009-2015 – and is the New York Times bestselling author of 12 books. Currently, the Governor is a contributor on Fox News and one of the nation’s most sought after conservative speakers.

Ben CarsonFormer 2016 Republican Primary Candidate

Carson gained national attention in 2011 by criticizing Pres-ident Obama’s health care policies at the National Prayer Breakfast. This inspired his run for the Republican nomina-tion in the 2016 presidential election. Before entering poli-tics, he was the Director of Pediatric Nuerosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

As a pioneer in neurosurgery, Carson’s achievements include performing the first and only successful separation of Sia-mese twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new meth-ods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherecto-my techniques for controlling seizures. Carson became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the country at age 33. He has received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees, dozens of national merit citations, and written over 100 neurosurgical publications. In 2008, he was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.

As a candidate for the Republican nominee, Carson stood by his life story and Christian base to appeal to social con-servatives. As a candidate, Carson advocated for school choice, immigration reform, and a proportional tax system.

Founded by Kondylis, the firm and its work have been featured in several magazines, including Architectural Digest, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Town & Country and Vogue. It has also been the subject of a television documentary.

From The Real Deal: “The early years of architect Costas Kondylis’ career was defined by frustration, until a chance meeting changed his life. That meeting was with Donald Trump and Kondylis would go on to design a number of Trump’s buildings, including the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle, several buildings at Trump Place on the Upper West Side, and the Trump World Tower near the United Nations.

His work for Trump would put Kondylis’ name on the map and eventually he became the most prolific architect New York City has ever seen, designing more than 85 buildings in the city.”

RUSSIAAras AgalarovFounder of Crocus Inter and Crocus

Aras Agalarov is an Azeri businessman, developer, public figure and author of Russia: Reflections on the Way to the Market (1998). Born in Baku, he was educated at the Azer-baijan Polytechnical Institute. He moved with his family to Moscow in 1998, where he co-founded Crocus International along side his father-in-law, Iosif Yefgenevich, which spe-cializes in trade fairs, where he still makes most of his mon-ey. As of 11/9/16, his net worth is an estimated $1.33 Billion.

Trump made millions when he agreed to bring the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013, a deal financed in part by the development company of Agalarov. Agalarov is sometimes called the “Trump of Russia” because of his tendency to put his own name on his buildings. At the time, Trump mingled with the Russian business elite at a swanky after-party. “Almost all of the oligarchs were in the room,” Trump bragged on returning home. Trump received a por-tion of the $14 million paid by Agalarov and other investors to bring the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow. Agalarov said he and Trump signed an agreement to build a Trump Tower in the heart of Moscow — at least Trump’s fifth at-tempt at such a venture.

Washington Post: “Since the 1980s, Trump and his family members have made numerous trips to Moscow in search of business opportunities, and they have relied on Russian investors to buy their properties around the world. ‘Rus-sians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,’ Trump’s son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. ‘We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.’”

Sater has been an advisor to many corporations, including The Trump Organization, Rixos Hotels and Resorts, Sembol Construction, Potok (formerly the Mirax Group), and TxOil.

From Washington Post: “The Russian-born businessman had already done a stint in prison for stabbing a man in the face with the stem of a margarita glass, and he was now awaiting sentencing for his role in a Mafia-orchestrated stock fraud scheme — all the while serving as a government informant on the mob and mysterious matters of national security.”

Sater proposed that his company, “would build Trump towers in U.S. cities and across the former Soviet bloc. Sater pitched it to Trump, who gave Sater’s company rights to explore projects in Moscow as well as in Florida and New York. “Any-body can come in and build a tower,” Sater told potential investors, according to testimony in a 2008 court case. “I can build a Trump Tower, because of my relationship with Trump.” Sater’s “Trump card,” as he called it, didn’t work everywhere. The Moscow deal fell apart. But their relationship continued — though just how close they were is now in dispute.
