Partner Josh Rosenstein was recently featured in a New York Post article discussing the indictment of Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst, for allegedly acting as a foreign agent for South Korea.

“’The Department of Justice has become much more aggressive when they believe someone is acting as an unregistered agent,” said Joshua Rosenstein, a Washington DC-based attorney who specializes in FARA compliance cases. He is not involved in the Terry case.”

“In Terry’s case the key element is if she ‘willfully’ acted as a foreign agent and did not register with the US Attorney General’s office under FARA, according to Rosenstein.”

“’If you are engaged in any activity at the request of the Korean government, which is intended to influence the US government or US public with respect to Korean government interests, such as reaching out to Americans in the form of op-eds, and DOJ can prove that you willfully ignored FARA rules, then the prosecution has a good shot,’ Rosenstein said. Rosenstein did not rule out the possibility that prosecutors could issue superseding indictments in the case with respect to Boot’s co-authorship of the columns.”
