Eli Lake, Bloomberg, August 01 2019:... Milani recommends for example that Trump make clear that the relationship between his personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, and the People’s Mujahedin, or the MEK, does not reflect U.S. government policy.

Daniel Larison, The American Conservative, July 17 2019:... President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has joined buckraking forces with former Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT), speaking at an event in Albania for a bizarre, cultish Iranian group that fashions itself as a government-in-exile for the Islamic Republic.

Reza Alghurabi, Press TV, July 16 2019:... All of the Iranian Americans at the meeting, however, knew the group well and detested it.
