McKinsey and the mystery on Pete Buttigieg's foreign policy resume:
On a mild summer Tuesday this month, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg stood before hundreds of supporters at an Indiana University auditorium and laid out his plan for American foreign policy.
But when it comes to his work abroad with McKinsey, he only drops hints about working on"war zone economic development to help grow private sector employment" in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also refers to a"safe house" in Baghdad. The book doesn't say exactly when or how long Buttigieg was in either country."So McKinsey, the way it works, is truly on a confidential basis.
Buttigieg's foreign policy record will come into focus as the 2020 presidential candidate -- known as"Mayor Pete" -- tries to edge out 23 other hopefuls for the Democratic nomination and the right to try to unseat President Donald Trump. Buttigieg and his competitors will debate this week in Miami. A McKinsey spokesperson declined to comment on the opioid report to ABC News, but the company told Bloomberg last month that it is"no longer advising clients on any opioid-specific business and [is] continuing to support key stakeholders working to combat the [opioid] crisis."
"Within a few weeks, [Dowdy] had assembled a strong group of consultants from the McKinsey global manufacturing practice, ready to deploy into country for extended six-week assignments, rotating out with replacements ready to pivot in to maintain momentum," Brinkley writes in the 2014 book"War Front to Store Front: Americans Rebuilding Trust and Hope in Nations Under Fire."
The contract described the work as"consulting services" in Iraq, though it's unclear if it was related to the initial factory assessments or other work. Federal records indicate the contract was paid out in several batches of more than $1 million at a time in 2009 and 2010.
