Hunter Biden, whose foreign business dealings have been under federal investigation since 2018, is now facing potential prison time for failing to register as a foreign agent while doing business overseas for years.
According to the United States Department of Justice, The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) “requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.”
This 1938 law requires that individuals acting as “an agent, representative, employee or servant… at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a ‘foreign principal,’ must register with the US government”, and failure to do so is punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
