My op-ed with General Petraeus in the @PostOpinions today. We must fight #kleptocracy and corruption overseas to protect America’s reputation abroad and Americans’ well-being at home.
Authoritarian regimes have weaponized corruption.
#Putin & other authoritarian rulers are using money to subvert the rule of law & remake foreign governments.
Even as they work to undermine our laws, they are attempting to benefit from the protections these laws provide.

#Congress must use its power to harden U.S. rule of law defenses & push back against these foreign adversaries. If we fail to take action at this pivotal moment, the consequences will be grave. A good place to start is with my bipartisan #TITLEAct.

@PostOpinions As Gen. Petraeus and I have said, this is the unattended security issue of our time.

@PostOpinions My bill with Sen. Grassley had a hearing, Chairman Graham is working on Judiciary markup, and we are coordinating w Banking Committee on reconciling Senate bills. Shell corporation sewer needs to be flushed clean.
@PostOpinions Great piece. National security angle explained in my op-ed w Petraeus. This is the unsung security issue of our time.

Unfortunately, there is money in serving kleptocracy and American Bar Association (lawyers) stands with the servants of kleptocracy. Yuck.
