  • Buried among the many executive actions taken in the first three weeks of the new Trump administration is a Feb. 5 memo, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, that must have Russian, Chinese, and even Iranian officials cheering.

The article from Slate discusses the potential legal implications for Donald Trump if he were to be elected president again, focusing on his past and potential future interactions with foreign entities like Russia, China, and Iran. It highlights concerns raised by legal experts and former officials about Trump's history of engaging with foreign governments in ways that could be seen as violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The piece details how Trump's business dealings, especially his properties like Trump Tower and the Trump International Hotel, have attracted foreign government spending, which could be interpreted as foreign influence. Furthermore, it explores the possibility of Trump acting as an unregistered foreign agent, given his past comments and actions that seemed to favor foreign leaders like Vladimir Putin. The article also speculates on the Department of Justice's (DOJ) potential actions under a new administration, suggesting that investigations into Trump's foreign ties could intensify, especially if there's a change in political leadership.
