Podesta Group
The Podesta Group had now come under scrutiny from Mueller’s investigations. Kimberley Fritts who is the Chief Executive of the Podesta Group said the company will be closing. Employees were also asked to clear their desks.
A connection was made between the group and Paul Manafort. Rick Gates who was indicted with Manafort was part that as well.
It was reported they both gathered a team to work for them. Ironically Podesta turned over the reins to Fritts when Gates and Manafort were indicted.
Fritts planned to open her own firm and others planned to leave Podesta.
John Podesta may try to remain on K Street where the company is found. Someone close to the firm talked about Podesta.
It was said “he didn’t say he was retiring. He didn’t say he was resigning. He’s a prideful person. He built a very influential company over 30 years, and I think he believes he hasn’t done anything wrong.”
