When Rep. Mark Green announced his retirement from Congress on Monday, citing a mysterious job opportunity he couldn’t pass up, most members were surprised and confused. Green is already a very wealthy man, according to his personal financial disclosures, and he is extremely powerful as the chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
But not everybody was so surprised.
During his time in Congress, Green has been pitching people on a foreign business opportunity in South America, five sources told NOTUS.
