BGR’s work “will include strategic guidance and counsel with regard to government affairs and public relations activity within the U.S.,” according to a DOJ filing. Azerbaijan also renewed its contracted with the Podesta Group, which has represented the Azerbaijani government since 2013. (Podesta’s retainer is $45,000 per month.)
