William Bennett, who served as Secretary of Education under President Reagan, has registered as a foreign agent to represent Qatar in the United States.
Bennett's new role involves supporting Qatar's education initiatives and lobbying efforts, with a reported $180,000 contract from Qatar's embassy in Washington, D.C. This move comes as Qatar faces increased scrutiny over its influence in American higher education and politics. Bennett has previously downplayed concerns about Qatari funding and its alleged links to antisemitism.
The development highlights ongoing debates about foreign money and lobbying in the U.S. education sector.
