A group of seven Democratic senators on Thursday called for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate work done by President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, for various foreign entities.
The senators said in a statement that they want the DOJ to review whether Giuliani is in compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). They want to know if he has any undisclosed political activities, any delinquent filings, or any “deficiencies or abnormalities” in his registration statements.
FARA requires individuals representing foreign powers in a political capacity to disclose those relationships.
The Washington Post reported in July that Giuliani was still working on behalf of foreign clients months after joining President Trump’s legal team, a revelation that raised conflict of interest concerns.
“We write regarding public reports that suggest the President’s personal attorney, Mr. Rudolph Giuliani, has conducted a number of political and public relations activities on behalf of foreign entities that implicate registration requirements of [FARA],” the senators wrote in their letter. “Mr. Giuliani’s numerous foreign clients and ongoing communications with senior U.S. government officials raise significant concerns.”
Democratic Senators Tom Udall (N.M.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Tammy Duckworth (Ill.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.) and Dick Durbin (Ill.) signed the letter to Assistant Attorney General John Demers.

I am only curious if Israel is considered a foreign entity and if so are all 3 branches of the government subject to FARA’s investigation and in violation of the US constitution? The FARA ought to investigate each and every senator & congressman/woman as well as Trump himself not only Guiliani!!
