Natalie Veselnitskaya was granted special immigration parole status by Obama Attn. General Loretta Lynch to represent Prevezon Holdings which settled an asset forfeiture agreement for $6 million with the U.S. government in a Russia money-laundering suit on May 12, 2016. Veselnitskaya overstayed her immigration parole status while working for FusionGPS to engage in illegal lobbying for repeal of Russian sanctions. Neither Veselnitskaya nor FusionGPS register as Russian agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
