Catz has been in active in Washington for years, which suggests her cultivation of Trump may involve business as much as politics.
During her coming visit to Israel in 2 weeks (week of the 15 April) she will be meeting at the United States Ambassador to Israel. David M. Friedman.
David was part of the law firm Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman where he met and represented Donald Trump, then chairman and president of The Trump Organization. He served as an advisor to Trump during his successful presidential campaign.
Catz has good reason to keep close tabs on the White House. Trump has considered a one-time 10 percent repatriation tax to return funds held abroad. That could hugely affect Oracle, which has more than $50 billion overseas, in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, according to a recent filing. Bringing some of that money back to the U.S. would be a boon for the company-- and might just be worth the rancor Catz has unleashed by staying close to the Trump administration.
