U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau reportedly instructed senior State Department officials to approve a visa for former Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, enabling him to travel from Hungary to the United States despite ongoing criminal charges in Poland. The case has sparked political debate across Europe and raised questions about U.S. involvement in sensitive international legal matters.
Ziobro, a key figure in Poland’s former conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government, is facing 26 charges connected to the alleged misuse of funds intended for crime victims. Polish authorities accuse him of redirecting public money for political purposes, including the controversial purchase of Pegasus spyware allegedly used against opposition figures. Ziobro denies all allegations, arguing that the accusations are politically motivated and part of a campaign led by Poland’s current pro-European Union government.
Hungary granted Ziobro asylum earlier this year under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s administration. Polish officials expected that a political transition in Hungary would result in his extradition back to Poland. However, according to sources familiar with the matter, Landau intervened and directed U.S. officials to facilitate a visa before Hungary’s new leadership took office.
The Trump administration has frequently voiced support for conservative politicians in Europe, often criticizing what it describes as politically motivated prosecutions or “lawfare.” Sources claim Landau viewed Ziobro as unfairly targeted and reportedly described the matter internally as involving national security concerns, though no public explanation was provided.
The development may further complicate relations between Washington and Warsaw. Poland’s government has already requested clarification from both Hungary and the United States regarding the legal basis that allowed Ziobro to leave Hungary after his Polish passport had reportedly been canceled.
