In this photo taken on Friday July 12, 2019, a man works in the garden of a high-end restaurant, Amber Room, where top Polish politicians and business people were secretly and illegally recorded over hundreds of hours in 2013 and 2014,  in Warsaw, Poland. Five years after dozens of Polish politicians were secretly recorded at two Warsaw restaurants, claims that Poland’s “Waitergate” scandal was a prelude to Russian election interference in the United States are getting another look. A book by an investigative journalist and a pardon request from the Polish coal tycoon who was convicted of having restaurant VIP rooms bugged have fueled suspicions about Russia and the nationalist party that benefited when the scandal toppled a pro-EU government.
