WASHINGTON -- Lobbyist Lanny Davis on Monday won his lawsuit against the small African dictatorship of Equatorial Guinea that alleged the government failed to reimburse him for more than $150,000 in expenses while he was lobbying for the country.
Equatorial Guinea did not respond to Davis's lawsuit, filed in October 2011, and a U.S. District Court judge for the District of Columbia issued a default judgement in favor of Davis, a former legal adviser to President Bill Clinton, for a total of $158,692. The unpaid expenses include $13,405 for a Washington party celebrating Equatorial Guinea's national day, $5,334 for phone calls, and $16,751 in interest on the debt.
Mark Zaid, Davis' lawyer, said he has no doubt his client will recover the money.
