According to Denmark Newt is a lobbyist which he has denied constantly
By Jakob Nielsen, Washington
Novo Nordisk viewed Republican presidential hopeful New Gingrich as a lobbyist in Washington, according to the Danish companys 2009 annual report in which Novos membership of Gingrichs Center for Health Transformation is listed as costs for lobbyism.
Gingrich has come under attack as he insists that he has never worked as a lobbyist, but has only offered strategic consultancy.
The issue is a controversial one because Gingrich portrays himself as a politician who is not involved with what he calls the Washingon elite.
Gingrichs claim that he has not been a lobbyist is in sharp contrast to Novos annual report from 2009 in which the following Costs for lobbyism are listed.
The total lobby expenditure for 2009 was USD 1,725,000. The number includes staff time in-house lobbying (staff time, expenses), fees for lobbying firms and law firms, membership fees to e.g. industry organisations.
