Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA)

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a U.S. law requiring individuals or organizations representing foreign governments or entities to disclose their activities, clients, and funding sources to the government. Its purpose is to ensure transparency about foreign influence and prevent covert propaganda or manipulation within the United States. By registering with the Department of Justice, these agents provide public disclosures about their work, helping the government and public understand who might be influencing policy or public opinion on behalf of foreign interests.
