Department of Justice, RT Editors Indicted for Election Interference
The Department of Justice indicted two Russian nationals and media executives from RT for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Officials allege a $10 million scheme used a Tennessee-based company to disseminate English-language content favorable to the Russian government. The FBI also moved to seize 32 internet domains designed to mimic legitimate U.S. news outlets like the Washington Post and Fox News.
