About
Guido Lombardi is an Italian-American businessman and conservative activist with extensive connections within conservative political circles in the United States and Europe. He is known for his role as an intermediary, facilitating connections between conservative media figures, political leaders, and the Trump administration. His activities often involve organizing private meetings and fostering relationships across international conservative movements. Lombardi gained prominence due to his involvement in events central to the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He is cited in the Mueller Report for introducing Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos to Joseph Mifsud, who allegedly informed Papadopoulos that Russia possessed 'dirt' on Hillary Clinton. Lombardi also reportedly facilitated Papadopoulos's introduction to Ivan Timofeev, a Russian foreign ministry official. Beyond his role in the Russia investigation, Lombardi has been described as a 'fixer' for various entities, including conservative media platforms. He has been involved in setting up meetings for high-profile individuals, such as Donald Trump Jr., with European far-right figures. His dual nationality and deep connections in both Italy and the U.S. have enabled him to operate across these political landscapes.
