Doc on Khalilzad, who is also hosting this event, attached. This doesn’t cover his bio. He was ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq, and to the UN, confirmed each time by voice vote while HRC was in the Senate.

Doc attached on Rick Burt. He supported the Iran deal, has some lobbying ties to Russia and Paul Manafort.

In case we hadn't seen, apparently former ambassador Rick Burt helped write Trump's speech.

Perfect. Trump's foreign policy speech apparently being drafted by yet another apologist for and lobbyist for dictators, Rick Burt.

Thanks,

Brinster will take point on vetting these people and will send around what we already have on folks he's previously named. I have three people here who will be ready to go to vet names. We can pull others in depending on how many names there are.

I think the two themes we would want to look for - but others should feel free to flag others they think of:

·         He doesn’t surround himself with the best/competent people. These people are dangerous/bad folks to take advice from.

·         He differs from his advisors on things like Iraq (I don’t know that that is a particularly helpful message for us but reporters will be looking for it I would bet).

Want to get us coordinated on how we go through the names once they are there. Lauren- can you loop the peeps on your team who would be doing that?
