Top Kerry Donor Accused of Aiding Radical Iranian Clerics
(CNSNews.com) - A pro-democracy Iranian group based in the United States accuses a top fund-raiser for Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry of using his position to advance the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Kerry fund-raiser, New York-based investment banker Hassan Nemazee, is scheduled to be deposed in a civil lawsuit next week involving accusations that he has served as an agent for the Islamic government of Iran.
A group of Iranian expatriates, the Student Movement Coordinating Committee for Democracy in Iran, and two American authors plan to hold a press conference on Thursday to discuss the Iranian regime's influence on Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign.
Ken Timmerman, author of several books on the Middle East, believes that Kerry "has adopted many of the positions that Tehran's lobbyists in America are tying to champion."
