Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday said the indictment of President Donald Trumps former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a business associate demonstrates that the Department of Justice is taking seriously its responsibility to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
While we dont have any more information regarding the current status of the special counsels investigation other than what has already been made public, its good to see the Justice Department taking seriously its responsibility to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Grassley said in a statement.
He said failure to register as a foreign agent under FARA is a dirty little secret for lots of people across the political spectrum in Washington.
Ive been raising concerns about lackluster enforcement of this foreign influence disclosure law for years now, regardless of administration or political party, Grassley said. It should be enforced fairly and consistently, regardless of politics or any other factor.

$3 million by Gates.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty. Revealed he pushed Russian dirt to Trump campaign. Undoubted same dirt that Don Jr got so excited about and chased.
