Russia is behind a widespread election meddling scheme, with a right-wing media company spreading Russian propaganda, yet these influencers say they were unaware of their Russian funding. Joy Reid and her panel discuss.
For those who still, even now, insist that the Russia scandal has been discredited, this hasn’t been a great week. In fact, as NBC News reported, the broader story took an important turn when the Justice Department indicted a contributor to a Russian state-run TV channel, charging him and his wife with violating U.S. sanctions and money laundering. If Simes’ name sounds at all familiar, it’s not your imagination: The dual U.S.
That indictment, of course, documented prosecutors’ allegations that employees of the Russia-backed media network RT funded and directed a scheme that sent millions of dollars to prominent right-wing commentators through Tenet Media, a leading platform for pro-Trump commentary. This was, according to the Justice Department, one of “covert projects” launched by the RT employees to influence American politics ahead of the elections.
