Nigel Paul Farage (born 3 April 1964) is a British politician,
broadcaster[4]
and political analyst.[5]
He has been a
Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the
South East England constituency since 1999 and is a Vice-Chairman of the
pro-Brexit
organisation
Leave Means Leave.
He is best known as the former
leader of the
UK Independence Party (UKIP) from 2006 to 2009 and again from 2010 to 2016.[6]
He co-chairs the
Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (formerly "Europe of Freedom and
Democracy") group.[7]
A prominent
Eurosceptic in the UK, he has been noted for his speeches in the
European Parliament,[8][9]
and has strongly criticised the
euro currency.
In a May 2016 interview with
Robert Peston, Farage said that, whilst he had reservations on the views and
character of 2016
Republican presidential candidate
Donald
Trump, if he were an eligible US voter he would vote for Trump in
2016 presidential election, to prevent
Hillary Clinton becoming president.[133]
In July 2016, Farage visited the
Republican convention in Cleveland with his aide and office manager
George Cottrell.[134]
Both Farage and Cottrell appeared on American television and engaged in
discussions with Trump's aides[134]
before Cottrell was arrested by the
FBI
on 21 federal counts of
fraud,
money laundering and
extortion.[135]
Farage "was unaware of Cottrell's alleged illegal activities and his arrest by
the FBI came as a shock."[135]
Cottrell's arrest left Farage unable to access his personal diary.[134]
Cottrell ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of
wire fraud as part of a plea agreement with U.S. federal prosecutors and was
sentenced to eight months in
U.S. federal prison and was fined $30,000; the crime had been committed
before Cottrell joined UKIP.[136][137]

November 12: Brexit leader Nigel Farage tells Donald Trump not to grope
British Prime Minister
Donald Trump's biggest support in Britain — the original Mr. Brexit — jokingly
warned the President-elect not to grope the Prime Minister, the second woman in
history to hold the title.
"Don't touch her, for God's sake!" Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said
in a radio interview while discussing how Trump should handle his first meeting
with Theresa May.
Farage, the right-wing politician who
supported the Republican throughout his White House bid, met with future the
President at Trump Tower on Saturday and insisted that he could mediate talks
between the American businessman known for bragging about sexual assault and the
UK's highest-ranking woman in politics.

The UK has rejected a suggestion by US President-elect Donald Trump that it
should appoint the figurehead of the Brexit movement, Nigel Farage, as

Trump caused diplomatic ripples when he said on Twitter that Farage, interim
leader of the anti-immigrant UK Independence Party (UKIP), would "do a great
job" in the post.

June 1: Nigel Farage
is 'person of interest' in FBI investigation into Trump and Russia
FBI interested in former Ukip leader’s ties with people connected to US
president and WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/01/nigel-farage-is-person-of-interest-in-fbi-investigation-into-trump-and-russia
June 1:
Donald Trump’s white nationalist campaign attracted anti-immigrant, pro-Russia
politicians from across Europe. In particular “Brexit” leader Nigel Farage, the
proudly racist and sexist former head of the nationalist UK Independence Party,
made an unprecedented trans-Atlantic push for Trump. Farage attended the
Republican convention, did media appearances to support Trump, joined in raising
the rabble at Trump rallies, and even defended Trump’s ugly Access Hollywood
statements as just the bragging of an “alpha male.” Farage is also an admirer of
Trump adviser Steve Bannon, with a Breitbart-friendly relationship that extends
back at least three years. And now Trump and Farage have
something else in common:
Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence
investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
Farage says he’s never even been to Russia … though he refuses to say if he’s
received payment from RT or other Russian state media. Farage has met with
Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, with Assange-friendly whackadoodle Roger
Stone, and seems to have just incidentally been involved with a lot of people
whose names keep showing up on the FBI radar.
“He’s right in the middle of these relationships. He turns up over and over
again. There’s a lot of attention being paid to him.”
Farage has some recent FBI experience. In July, the FBI
nabbed Farage’s top aide, for laundering drug money through the dark net.
The aide, George Cottrell, previously ran the UKIP offices as well as Farage’s
personal blog. He was arrested by the FBI when Farage and Cottrell came to the
US for the Republican Convention. Cottrell was later found guilty of wire fraud
for offering to help criminals launder funds.

June 6: Last
week, the Guardian published a
report revealing a new and odd twist in the Trump-Russia scandal: Nigel
Farage, the British politician who led the Brexit movement in Great Britain, is
a “person of interest” in the FBI investigation of interactions between Trump
associates and the Russian government. The newspaper reported that Farage was
under FBI scrutiny because he had relationships with both the Trump camp and
WikiLeaks, which disseminated Democratic emails swiped by Russian hackers in an
effort to help Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Farage dismissed the story
as “hysteria” and said he had not been contacted by the FBI. But Farage did meet
with Trump during the campaign. And a source close to the Trump camp tells
Mother Jones that a Trump-Farage meeting was set up by Roger Stone, the
veteran political dirty-trickster and long-time Trump adviser who has come under
investigation in the Trump-Russia inquiry.
That source is Stone himself.

May 11: Right-wing British politician
Nigel Farage has said he will start a petition to have
Donald Trump nominated for the
Nobel Peace Prize, saying the
award would lose legitimacy in the eyes of millions if the US president had
a successful

Mr Trump is among those who believes he deserves becoming a recipient of the
Norwegian-based prize and has claimed such an opinion is widely shared.

June 16: Leading
Brexit Campaigner Apparently Passed Documents on U.S. Probe into George Cottrell
to the Russians
A top Brexit campaigner, who met repeatedly with Russian officials, appeared to
share details of the indictment of George Cottrell, a dark web operator working
for the campaign.
One of the
Brexit campaign chiefs appeared to pass documents detailing an American law
enforcement investigation to a Russian official,
according to a cache of leaked emails.
The papers, which detailed a probe into dark web money laundering, were
apparently shared with the Russian embassy in London by Leave.EU executive Andy
Wigmore. They concerned the arrest of Brexit financier George Cottrell, who was
seized at an airport on the way home from the Republican convention in 2016
where Donald Trump had just been nominated as the presidential candidate.
Cottrell had been at the convention in Cleveland with his boss
Nigel Farage, who dined with
Roger Stone and met a string of other Republican operatives and elected
officials.

July 4: UK reportedly tells Trump he cannot
meet with Brexit architect Nigel Farage
Trump has embraced Farage, who is also a Fox News contributor, and called him
“the man behind Brexit” during the 2016 campaign.
Farage told Fox News he would not comment on any conversations he had with the
White House but said the Telegraph report was “utterly consistent” with past
behavior from the U.K. government.
“The one thing they do not want me doing is having a photograph with the U.S.
president when he’s in London with both of us saying ‘Brexit is a great idea,
why doesn’t the government just get on with it?’”

July 6: Trump baby
blimp is 'biggest ever insult to a sitting president', Nigel Farage claims
Nigel Farage has branded plans to let an "angry baby" Trump blimp fly over
London during his forthcoming visit "the biggest insult to a sitting US
president ever".
The former UKIP leader and longtime Trump ally claimed that Sadiq Khan's
decision to allow the giant balloon to fly over Westminster "makes London look
ridiculous".
Weighing in to a febrile debate over the six-metre inflatable, he asked: "Would
this be happening if it was
Obama?"
His comments stoked responses on Twitter ranging from support to mockery as some
pointed out that other US presidents have also been subject to hostile behaviour.
"JFK getting shot in the head is probably more insulting than a flying ...
balloon," wrote one man.

July 13:
Any meeting with the former UKIP leader would be seen as another blow to May.
Nigel Farage, the right-wing British politician and Brexit mastermind, is
scheduled to visit Washington, D.C., on July 19, two people familiar with his
travel plans said, and is working to set up a meeting with Trump while he is
there.
“As someone with unique insight into Brexit, the transatlantic relationship, and
what’s going on with the panicked EU member states, Nigel will be on hand for
the president whenever Mr. Trump sees fit to talk,” said a Farage associate who
has been back-channeling with the White House about a potential meeting. Those
plans, a second source cautioned, were still up in the air.

November 13: Mueller seeking more details on
Nigel Farage, key Russia inquiry target says
Jerome Corsi,
a conservative author, said prosecutors working for Mueller questioned him
about Farage, the key campaigner behind Britain’s vote to leave the European
Union, two weeks ago in Washington.
Corsi said investigators for the special counsel also pressed him for
information on Ted Malloch, a London-based American academic with ties to Farage,
who informally advised Donald Trump and was
interviewed by FBI agents earlier this year.
