On September 14th, OpenSecrets hosted a discussion on foreign influence, which included a demo of CRP’s newly released Foreign Lobby Watch database and a talkback with foreign influence experts.

OpenSecrets researchers Dan Auble and Anna Massoglia introduced the event and participated in the discussion along with our panel:

Eric Lipton, Investigative Reporter, The New York Times

Lydia Dennett, Investigator, Project on Government Oversight

Ben Freeman, Director, Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative, Center for International Policy
