The Foreign Agents Registration Act, FARA, has been making
headlines recently, as Washington seeks to crack down on foreign
influence in the United States. But the law has a surprising
history, and could be in for some major updates in the coming
months. In the first of a two-part series, Host Olga Torres is
joined by David Laufman, former Chief of the Counterintelligence
and Export Controls Section at the Department of Justice to discuss
all things FARA.
Be sure to tune in next week, for Part 2, where David will discuss
high-profile sanctions and export enforcement cases, DOJ voluntary
self-disclosures, and C-suite compliance certifications recently
announced by DOJ.
