NACDL - Written Testimony to the House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee on FARA Enforcement (April 2022)

Written Testimony to the House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee on FARA Enforcement (April 2022)

Though well-intentioned, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a broad and vague statute and any efforts should be focused on narrowing and clarifying its nebulous rules. NACDL believes that existing Department of Justice (DOJ) enforcement authority is sufficient to enforce the statute, as recent high-profile cases have shown, and that granting additional enforcement tools is neither warranted nor worth the risk of overreach.
