Sen. Rand Paul weighs ban on lobbyists working for foreign governments – By OAN Newsroom (oann.com) / Dec 19 2018
Senator Rand Paul is considering whether to propose a ban on lobbyists working with foreign governments.
In an interview Tuesday, Paul said lobbying on behalf of a foreign government could pose a threat to national security.
The senator pointed out that the Saudis and other gulf monarchies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Capitol Hill to buy political influence in the U.S.
This comes as former adviser to President Trump” — Michael Flynn — has drawn scrutiny for allegedly working on behalf of Turkey in 2016.
Paul believes foreign lobbying creates a problem of “divided loyalty” in the U.S. government. He has yet to decide whether to introduce legislation on the issue.
