Elizabeth Warren\u2019s (D-MA) son-in-law, with whom she is close, has troubling ties to the Iranian regime, according to a new book by Peter Schweizer.<\/p>\n<p>The book,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/006289790X?tag=wwwbreitbartc-20\"><em>Profiles in Corruption<\/em><\/a>, reveals progressive leaders\u2019 little-known ties to corrupt businesses and governments and discusses the Massachusetts senator in a chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Since his marriage into the Warren family, Tyagi \u201chas been involved in a series of curious\u2014even troubling\u2014business ventures around the world,\u201d Schweizer writes.<\/p>\n<p>Tyagi runs Tricolor Films, and in\u00a02008, produced a\u00a0film called\u00a0<em>The Song of Sparrows<\/em>, directed by Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi.<\/p>\n<p>The film was described as Majidi\u2019s \u201cmost religious\u201d and is about a man who is fired from his job on an ostrich farm, moves to the big city and becomes a\u00a0motorcycle taxi driver, and soon becomes consumed with his passengers\u2019 lives and is swept up in a world of greed. It is his family that help him restore his \u201ccaring and generous nature,\u201d according to a film synopsis.<\/p>\n<p>Tyagi was listed as the film\u2019s sole producer on a\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0page, in credits which have now been deleted. A look back at the page\u2019s archive revealed that the film was funded by the Iranian government agency that is overseen by Iranian propagandists.<\/p>\n<p>Schweizer writes:\u00a0\u00a0The full credits of the film, for some reason, seem to also have been scrubbed from the internet. We obtained a copy by using the Wayback machine and made a startling discovery: the movie\u2019s chief investors included none other than the social deputy of the State Welfare Organization (SWO) of Iran as well as the Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>These two investors in the film might appear at first glance to be innocuous cultural organizations\u2014but they are not. Both are funded and controlled by the Islamist Iranian government.<\/p>\n<p>The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran states: \u201cThis organization was founded in 1996 and [does] its activities under the supervision of a board of trustees composed of various cultural institutions such as IRIB and Islamic propaganda organization.\u201d &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>I would love to see this bit&#8211; er, candidate squirm under real questioning, when the time comes.
