Is Richardson Involved in Pay to Say?

Bill Richardson

KOB TV - When former Gov. Bill Richardson left office he told New Mexicans he was looking forward to visiting baseball parks across the United States. Instead, the former pitcher has been traveling around the world earning speaking fees. Eyewitness News has learned some of Richardson’s fees were paid by people associated with an Iranian dissident group listed on the U.S. State Department’s list of known terrorist groups.
In addition to paying the former governor, the Mojahedin-e Khalq, also named MEK, has been spending millions to have Richardson and other diplomats, politicians and even former U.S. military generals use their influence to help them get de-listed.

In December 2011, Richardson, the former U.N. Ambassador, told the National Resistance Council in Paris, France that there is increasing international and bipartisan support for the group.
KOB found the video from Richardson's speech in Paris on YouTube.
Last year, the New York Times and Christian Science Montior both reported that at least 33 other high-ranking former U.S. officials have given speeches to MEK-friendly audiences since December of last year as part of more than 22 events in Washington, Brussels, London, Paris and Berlin.
While not every speaker accepted payment, MEK-affiliated groups have spent millions of dollars on speaking fees, according to interviews with the former officials, organizers. Richardon is represented by the Washington Speakers’ Bureau and reportedly earns between $25,000 and $50,000 a speech. Read full story here: News New Mexico
