Chabad Lubavitch and Academic Institutions Expand Influence in US Political Sphere

The emergence of three new co-actors, notably Chabad Lubavitch and individuals associated via Vanderbilt University, indicates an expansion of a previously identified influence network. Connections to the United States Senate and other academic institutions suggest growing integration of religious and academic entities in what appears to be a diversified lobbying or information dissemination strategy. The Rothstein individuals serve as a key linkage in this broadening network.
