Rubio Urges DOJ to Investigate Whether Former Secretary of State Kerry Violated the Logan Act or FARA

May 13, 2019 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate whether former Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s actions since leaving office related to the Iran nuclear deal violate the Logan Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
 
Rubio previously urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the matter.
 
The full text of the letter is below.
 
Dear Attorney General Barr:
 
I write to make you aware of a September 18, 2018 letter I sent to your predecessor regarding potential violations of the Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953) and the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) by former Secretary of State John F. Kerry.  As you know, former Secretary Kerry’s actions since leaving office have come under scrutiny as they related to the Iran nuclear deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
 
The full letter to your predecessor is attached.
 
The American people deserve to know that U.S. laws are enforced regardless of any individual’s past position. The Department of Justice should therefore make a determination on whether or not former Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s recent actions related to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran potentially violate the Logan Act or the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
 
Sincerely,
