No ties to the MEK

No tie on file

The MEK is an exile group led by Maryam Rajavi that fought beside Saddam Hussein against Iran. Signing one of its resolutions in Congress, or speaking at its events, is a tie.

No signature on the six MEK-backed resolutions (four in the House, two in the Senate), and no tie in the sources we have read. Nothing is taken off the grade.
