As of the most recently available public records, there are a handful of individuals closely affiliated with former President Donald Trump who have actually registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA):

⸻

✅ Known Trump-Connected Registrants
1.Michael Flynn — Trump’s first National Security Adviser. He formally registered in March 2017 for pre‑election consulting work potentially benefiting the Turkish government   .
2.Paul Manafort — Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman. He registered in June 2017 for consulting work his firm did for Ukraine’s pro‑Russian Party of Regions  . His deputy, Rick Gates, also registered for the same work.
3.Monica Crowley — Served in Trump’s administration and had earlier registered in 2017 for outreach work on behalf of Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk   .

⸻

⚠️ Others Under Scrutiny or Investigation
•Thomas Barrack — Trump campaign fundraiser and inaugural chair. Prosecuted under criminal statute § XXX (which is distinct from FARA) for alleged undeclared lobbying on behalf of the UAE. He was ultimately acquitted, and no FARA registration occurred  .
•Rudy Giuliani, Walid Phares, Carter Page, Roger Stone — Investigated or scrutinized under suspicion of violating FARA, though they did not register as foreign agents  .

🧠 Bottom Line

When you ask, “how many registered FARA agents is Trump surrounded by?”, based on confirmed registrations tied to his campaign or administration, currently just four individuals:
•Michael Flynn
•Paul Manafort
•Rick Gates
•Monica Crowley

These individuals formally registered with the DOJ under FARA for work they had done on behalf of foreign principals. Others linked to Trump have faced scrutiny or legal inquiry under FARA-related laws but have not formally registered.

If you meant someone else—like current staff or more recent hires—let me know, and I can check for any updated filings.
