A GOP lobbyist and a former advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign have been charged with falsifying records related to foreign lobbying. Barry Bennett, a prominent lobbyist and Trump campaign advisor, is among those facing charges for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The charges are linked to lobbying efforts on behalf of Qatar. GOP operatives have admitted to their involvement in illegal backroom deals with Qatar. The Justice Department has accused two political operatives of concealing their work as foreign lobbyists during the Trump administration. This development raises questions about the influence of foreign nations like Qatar on American politics and the potential involvement of other political figures.
