Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) on Thursday said he introduced the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity (AIPAC) Act. “We need more transparency in the foreign interest lobbying on Capitol Hill. That’s why I introduced the Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act today,” Massie said. The Kentucky Republican said the bill would “make AIPAC subject to [the] Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).” “For some reason, they’re immune right now. And I think, not just the money that’s spent in politics, but the lobbying that happens on Capitol Hill should be reported if it’s a foreign country,” Massie explained. “Whether it’s Great Britain, Australia, Turkey, Qatar, or Israel. It needs to be reported,” he added. Massie also supported requiring social media influencers to disclose whether they receive “foreign money.” “I believe we should have that same sort of truth and advertising on social media. Because if it’s a good idea in the other outlets, it would be a good idea on social media,” Massie said. “Particularly, because so much of it is foreign money. I remember all these complaints about election interference. Fraudulent elections and the Russians being involved and who else being involved. But really, the elections are being influenced online,” he continued. Watch below: We need more transparency in the foreign interest lobbying on Capitol Hill.

More from the Associated Press: Massie angered Trump by voting against his signature tax legislation over concerns of adding to the national debt, pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and opposing his decision to go to war with Iran. His positions, Massie insists, reflect the America First promises Trump initially made on the campaign trail. In a Kentucky district where the president won by 35 points two years ago, Massie told The Associated Press that the upcoming primary is “by far the most challenging reelection I’ve ever faced.” The race is playing out across Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District, which sweeps northeast from the outskirts of Louisville along the Ohio River, through the suburbs south of Cincinnati and over to the lush foothills and old coal towns of Appalachia. Voters here have sent Massie back to Congress ever since his first election in 2012, embracing his stalwart independence and jaunty personality. Back in 2020, they brushed off Trump’s social media demand to “throw Massie out of Republican Party” because he was a “third rate Grandstander.” Now, Republican voters are debating whether they will do the same thing again. A recent poll showed Massie trailing Gallrein by 5 points. Massie trails Trump-backed Gallrein in Kentucky House GOP primary: Pollhttps://t.co/uKxiitKJfB — The Hill (@thehill) May 14, 2026 The Hill shared further: The survey, conducted Monday and Tuesday, found that 48.3 percent of 908 respondents backed Gallrein, whom President Trump endorsed last year amid a feud with Massie, while 43.1 percent backed the incumbent. More than 8 percent of respondents were undecided. Among 69 respondents who were still undecided, Gallrein received support from 52.2 percent of them and Massie received the backing of 20.3 percent of them. More than 27 percent of those 69 respondents still said they were undecided, even when asked if they were leaning toward a particular candidate. Massie, a libertarian, has represented the Bluegrass State’s 4th District since 2012 — making him the third-longest-tenured member of Kentucky’s House delegation, behind only Republican Reps. Hal Rogers and Brett Guthrie. But after Massie broke with Trump on a variety of issues last year, including the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the administration’s handling of files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the president pulled his support of Massie and backed Gallrein — a retired U.S. Navy SEAL who lost to state Sen. Aaron Reed (R) in the 2024 GOP primary for Kentucky’s 7th Senatorial District.
