Roger Stone and CJ Pearson Cash In as Lobbyists for the Bahamas, Continuing MAGA Foreign Agent Pipeline

The so-called “America First” movement is proving to be anything but domestic. Despite the Strait of Hormuz remaining a geopolitical hotspot, the real story is the open pipeline funneling MAGA influencers into foreign lobbying roles. The latest example: extremist Trump adviser Roger Stone and MAGA activist CJ Pearson have been signed as lobbyists for the Bahamas.

According to court filings reported by the Miami Herald, Stone and Pearson have agreed to serve as agents for the Bahamas in lucrative deals. This development fits a pattern first exposed by The Wall Street Journal in January, which revealed how foreign governments like Israel and Qatar have been recruiting Trump-aligned social media personalities and political operatives—often with zero diplomatic experience—to sway U.S. policy.

Stone, a notorious political fixer and longtime Trump confidant, played a central role in the attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Pearson, a young MAGA activist, also actively pushed false claims about election fraud. Their new gigs as foreign agents confirm how the Trump orbit monetizes access and influence, even as they undermine democratic norms at home.

This trend is a glaring example of how loyalty to Trump translates into lucrative deals with foreign governments, raising serious questions about conflicts of interest and the weaponization of political influence. The Bahamas hiring two figures who helped destabilize American democracy shows the depths of corruption and disregard for democratic integrity within the MAGA movement.

As these former Trump operatives cash in on their notoriety, the American public is left to grapple with the consequences: a foreign policy shaped not by expertise or national interest, but by transactional loyalty and grift. The MAGA foreign agent pipeline remains wide open—and it’s a threat to both democratic accountability and U.S. sovereignty.
