George Sorial

Sorial holds a BA, JD, and MBA from Boston University and an LLM from Seton Hall Law, and is an active member of the Florida Bar (Bar #116632) ². He began his legal career at DeCotiis Fitzpatrick & Cole, a New Jersey law firm, before joining the Trump Organization in 2002 ⁴. His role expanded over seventeen years from general counsel functions to EVP-level oversight of the Organization's global licensing and development portfolio; from 2017 he held the title of Chief Compliance Counsel ¹.

Sorial departed the Trump Organization on June 7, 2019 ¹. He subsequently co-authored The Real Deal: My Decade Fighting Battles and Winning Wars with Trump ². After departure he formed STMS Consulting Partners LLC (d/b/a Sorial Consulting) at 455 NE 5th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL ². LDA records show a single client in 2020: Lucas Compton LLC on behalf of Berman Law Group, for the Stop COVID Act covering torts, health, and foreign relations, at $10,000 per quarter ². Total disclosed income from STMS in 2020 was $30,000, and no further LDA activity appears until the 2024 formation of Javelin Advisors ².

Javelin Advisors LLC was co-founded in late 2024 by Sorial, Keith Schiller (Trump's former personal bodyguard and Director of Oval Office Operations), and Robert W. Seiden ¹². Both Sorial and Schiller filed Short-Form FARA disclosures on April 25, 2025 under registration #7579, listing 433 Plaza Real, Suite 275, Boca Raton, FL 33432 as the firm's address ³.

Javelin's disclosed LDA client roster spans foreign governments, individuals seeking executive clemency, defense contractors, and critical minerals developers ¹. Fred Daibes, a New Jersey developer convicted of bribing Senator Bob Menendez, retained Javelin for pardon-related work in Q1 2025 before the engagement terminated in June 2025. Giorgi Rtskhiladze's Logical Strategies LLC paid Javelin $1.2 million in Q3 2025 to lobby the EPA on the chrysotile asbestos ban under TSCA; Rtskhiladze appeared in the Mueller Report in connection with efforts to suppress recordings involving Trump. Capstone USA Advisory Group LLC, focused on Ukrainian defense reconstruction, retained Javelin in Q3-Q4 2025 for $300,000. Greg E. Lindberg, an NC financier who pleaded guilty to $2 billion fraud and bribery of the NC Insurance Commissioner, hired Javelin for pardon-related work in Q3 2025. NioCorp Developments Ltd, a Nasdaq-listed critical minerals developer whose subsidiary received up to $15 million from the DOD under the Defense Production Act, retained Javelin in Q4 2025 for $400,000. I-MEI Foods Co. Ltd, a Taiwanese manufacturer with affiliated entities in robotics and quantum cybersecurity, engaged Javelin in Q4 2025 to target DOD contracts.

The covered official listed across all LDA filings is Keith Schiller, identified by his former White House title: Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Oval Office Operations ¹. Sorial serves as the filer-of-record on LDA and FARA registrations ³. Seiden's position within the Pakistan engagement created a dual-role arrangement: Seiden Law LLP held the direct contract with the Government of Pakistan at $250,000 per month, then subcontracted to Javelin Advisors at $50,000 per month, with Seiden serving as Managing Partner of Seiden Law LLP and co-equal Managing Director of Javelin.

On April 25, 2025, Javelin Advisors registered under FARA (Registration #7579) as a foreign agent for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with the foreign principal listed at the Pakistan Embassy at 3517 International Court NW, Washington DC 20008 ³. Sorial is listed as a FARA lobbyist registered for Pakistan ¹. The engagement arose from the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum in April 2025, which produced a US-Pakistan framework for cooperation on rare earth and critical minerals, with the military engineering corps of Pakistan, Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), identified as the extraction entity.

Javelin's direct contract ran through Seiden Law LLP, with documented payments from Seiden Law LLP to Javelin totaling $200,000 across four transfers between May and August 2025. The FARA registration was terminated October 8, 2025, approximately five months after filing ³.

The primary congressional contact Javelin used for the Pakistan mandate was Representative Ronny Jackson (TX-13, former White House physician), with documented contacts including an in-person meeting with Pakistani officials on May 1, 2025, a phone call on May 6 regarding the India-Pakistan conflict, a dinner arrangement call on May 16, and a call on May 28 that preceded delivery of a draft bilateral MoU. Javelin also targeted Representative Dan Crenshaw, Representative Morgan Luttrell, and former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's office, where the draft MoU was delivered ³. That MoU preceded a September 2025 deal between US Strategic Metals and Pakistan's FWO.

Javelin simultaneously lobbied for NioCorp Developments (a US domestic critical minerals developer) while registered as a foreign agent for Pakistan's critical minerals program, creating a dual mandate with overlapping issue areas and the same covered official ¹.

Sorial is listed as a beneficial owner and passive minority shareholder of GreenMet (Greentech Minerals Holdings Inc.), a Washington DC-incorporated critical minerals company, and formerly served on its board ⁴. GreenMet is led by CEO Drew Horn, a former Deputy Policy Director to Vice President Pence and Afghanistan Policy Director at OSD with a background in Army Special Forces and USMC.

Sorial resigned his board and advisory roles at GreenMet in early 2025 but retained his equity stake ⁴. His co-shareholder Keith Schiller underwent the same resignation-while-retaining-shares structure on the same timeline, preceding both the formation of Javelin Advisors and Javelin's FARA registration for Pakistan's rare earth program ¹³.

GreenMet brokered a partnership with Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) that secured a $120 million EXIM Bank letter of intent for Tanbreez Mining in Greenland. GreenMet, Sorial, and Schiller do not appear in any of the 167 publicly filed CRML SEC documents, indicating that any advisory relationship and equity-for-services compensation is held only in private agreements.

Keith Schiller is Sorial's most frequent co-filer and business partner. The two share co-equal ownership of Javelin Advisors ¹, co-held beneficial ownership of GreenMet ⁴, and filed joint FARA short-form disclosures on April 25, 2025 ³. They made a joint $5,000 FEC contribution to Senator Katie Britt on September 8, 2025 ¹. Schiller's former White House title (Deputy Assistant to the President, Director of Oval Office Operations) is cited in LDA filings as the basis for contacts with the Executive Office of the President ¹.

Robert W. Seiden is the third co-equal Managing Director of Javelin Advisors ¹. As Managing Partner of Seiden Law LLP, he held the prime contract with Pakistan's government while simultaneously receiving subcontractor payments through Javelin, controlling both sides of the financial arrangement.

Giorgi Rtskhiladze is the principal of Logical Strategies LLC, Javelin's largest single-quarter client at $1.2 million in Q3 2025. Rtskhiladze is identified in the Mueller Report as having claimed to have "stopped tapes from Russia" involving Trump, and has documented ties to CIS energy interests.

Drew Horn connects Sorial to the GreenMet rare earth network. Horn, Sorial, and Schiller are all listed in DC corporate registry documents as beneficial owners of GreenMet ⁴. Horn's concurrent role as GreenMet CEO while Sorial and Schiller simultaneously held FARA registration for Pakistan's rare earth program created overlapping critical minerals mandates across the network ¹.

Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) received a $5,000 joint contribution from Sorial and Schiller on September 8, 2025, documented in FEC records and referenced in Javelin's November 2025 FARA supplemental statement ¹. Britt sits on the Senate Banking Committee and the Armed Services Committee, both relevant to Javelin's NioCorp and Pakistan mandates.
