This is especially important in cases where the foreign country is adversarial or has problematic foreign relations with the US. This is news to you? In any case, Trump is doubly cursed since he's a foreign agent who has not registered and therefore is misrepresenting his conflict of interest.
Just out of curiosity, do you know off hand if Hillary is registered? From what little digging I've done it seems like the Clinton Foundation is doing good work and getting more of the donated funds to those in need than most such charities. Still, the foundation is moving large amounts of money from one country to another. In principle I've no objection in taking petrodollars from Middle East royalty to build schools for girls in Africa, but should she be registered?
