Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani also was paid an unknown sum to talk to the group, known as the MEK. Already, a group of former U.S. officials, including Giuliani, wrote a letter to Trump last month encouraging him to "establish a dialogue" with the MEK's political arm. Thousands of MEK members were ultimately resettled in Albania. MEK members call him the "Hidden Imam" who will return to Earth as a messiah, Abrahamian said. An FBI probe found MEK members hustled travelers arriving to Los Angeles International Airport, asking them to donate after showing them binders of photographs of disaster or torture victims.
