Texas RepChipRoy is calling on the Department of Justice to require that Saudi-backed LIV Golf register as a foreign agent.
In a letter sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday, the Texas Republican argued that the new league, which has spent millions swaying PGA stars to join, may be in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which mandates foreign entities engaged in the political realm to disclose their affiliations with foreign principals.
“As the DOJ knows, foreign governments who hire lobbying, consulting, public relations, and marketing firms are required to register with the federal government under FARA statutes,” Roy wrote. “This ensures that the federal government and the public are aware of these relationships, activities, and the financial compensation associated with foreign governments operating in the U.S.
Roy asserted that the tournaments slated to take place in the U.S. warranted a DOJ investigation and called for a congressional briefing on the matter.
