Perry “didn’t feel like the board of Naftogaz was sufficiently high level and connected to global energy companies, so he suggested that they expand the board and bring in new higher-level, industry-connected people on an international basis, including some Americans,” said a second person familiar with the discussions.
Bensch, who advised DOE on technical matters involving Ukrainian energy, had not “formally” been offered a role on the board, said a person familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss personnel issues. Bleyzer did not immediately reply to a message left with his firm. Two clients of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Ukrainian-American Trump donors Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, had met with Naftogaz earlier this year to pitch themselves as suppliers of U.S. natural gas,“I may or may not know anything about it,” Giuliani told POLITICO when asked if he knew about Perry’s efforts to install new people on the board.
Perry is scheduled to travel in Eastern Europe next week to follow up on a energy-cooperation agreement the U.S., Ukraine and Poland signed last month, according to an Energy DepartmentOn Friday evening, House Democrats issued their third subpoena this week for documents related to a whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s interactions with Ukraine’s leader.
