Thomas Massie introduces bill that would force AIPAC to register as foreign agent
The bill would broaden Foreign Agents Registration Act disclosure rules and comes as Massie faces a Trump-backed primary challenge with more than $25 million in ad spending.
- Rep. Thomas Massie introduced legislation requiring the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, citing transparency about foreign lobbying interests.
- President Donald Trump endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein in March after Massie broke with the former president over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Epstein files, and Iran policy, escalating the primary fight.
- This race has become one of the most expensive in House history, topping more than $25 million in ad spending, while Massie's small-dollar 'moneybomb' campaign surpassed $2 million in five days.
- Trump-Aligned super PACs have launched intense opposition against Massie, with some ads labeling the seven-term Republican as pro-Palestine and pro-Iran despite his transparency argument.
- Voters in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District face a turnout-driven primary contest between Massie's independent conservatism and Trump's preferred challenger Gallrein, with polling showing a tight race.
