Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the DOJ unsealed an indictment in the Southern District of New York that charges two employees of Russian-backed media network RT with conspiring to commit money laundering and to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The pattern from recent years isn’t exactly subtle. In 2016, Russia targeted U.S. elections. In 2018, Russia targeted U.S. elections. In 2020, Russia targeted U.S. elections. In 2022, Russia targeted U.S. elections. And in 2024, American intelligence agencies have spent months alerting the public to the fact that Russia is once again targeting U.S. elections.
According to the allegations raised by federal prosecutors, two indicted RT employees, among other things, helped execute a nearly $10 million plan to fund a media company as one of their “covert projects” to influence American politics ahead of the elections. As NBC News’ report added, the indictment didn’t reference the company’s name, but the description matches that of Tenet Media.
