On today's show, Simona Mangiante discusses how the DOJ investigated her potential obligation to register under FARA, based on her congressional run last year in ITALY, but didn't request such registration to the ELECTED Italian officials in North America! Italian newspaper @Corriere wrote about her story and highlighted the ODD, "In more than 80 years, until last April 5, only 745 people in the WORLD registered under FARA, and there are currently only 5 ITALIAN citizens registered. What would make her number 6? Asking for your opinion. #STOP WEAPONIZATION!"
