How many fringe but legal political groups in the US get some or all their money from foreign sources and governments?
That's interesting. I'm wondering, are there any laws regulating foreign donations to political groups in the US?
Yes, there are. US election law prohibits foreign nationals or entities from contributing to US political campaigns or making expenditures in connection with federal, state, or local elections. This includes contributions to political committees and independent expenditures in support or opposition to specific candidates. However, there is some leeway when it comes to foreign funding or donations to US political groups that do not make direct contributions to candidates or parties, and there are loopholes in the law that some groups may exploit.
