'They’re Beefing Up': FBI Takes Expanded Role in 'Foreign Agent' Reviews

“We’ve gone from 30 mph not to 60 mph but to 90 mph in the last 18
months to two years,” Thomas Spulak, a partner at King & Spalding,
said in an interview.

Amid the greater scrutiny of foreign influence in the United States,
the FBI has taken an expanded role in efforts to ensure lawyers,
lobbyists and political consultants are fully revealing their advocacy
for government clients, a move that observers said brings a new
intensity to compliance reviews that have traditionally been handled
by Justice Department staff.
