William Bennett, who served as Secretary of Education under President Reagan, has registered as a foreign agent to represent Qatar's interests in the United States.
Bennett's new role involves supporting Qatar's education initiatives and lobbying efforts, despite ongoing concerns about foreign influence and the connection between Qatari funding and issues like antisemitism. The move comes as Qatar faces increased scrutiny but appears to be intensifying its lobbying and outreach to American institutions.
Bennett's contract with Qatar's embassy in Washington, D.C. is reportedly worth $180,000. This development highlights the growing involvement of former U.S. officials in foreign lobbying activities.
