Sen. Bob Menendez, now facing an additional charge of acting as a foreign agent, has a history of opposing Foreign Agents Registration Act reforms in 2020 and 2023.
"It seems shortsighted to provide additional enforcement tools before we have figured out what that regime should look like," Menendez said on the Senate floor, according to congressional records. "The disturbing rise of foreign influence campaigns that use a variety of measures to mask who is the ultimate source or beneficiary should serve as an alarm bell for all of us.
