RUSSIA Attacks USA
Video Summary
What appears to be a subtle and insidious interference in the 2024 US presidential election has emerged. The US Department of Justice has charged two Russian media employees with conspiracy to violate US laws related to money laundering and foreign agent registration. The individuals, who work for Russia’s RT media company, allegedly used shell companies and fake personas to pay $10 million to a Tennessee company to produce online content meant to exacerbate political divisions in the US. This is not the first time Russia has been accused of attempting to influence the outcome of a US presidential election. In 2016, Russian operatives were accused of hacking into the Democratic National Committee’s email account and leaking sensitive information to damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign. This new development highlights the extensive efforts Russia is making to spread disinformation and propaganda on social media platforms. The FBI believes that Russia is increasingly turning to American social media influencers to spread its message, hiring them to create content that favors Russia’s interests. The stakes are high, as Russia’s ultimate goal is to weaken public support for American aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia. With the 2024 presidential election on the horizon, it is crucial to remain vigilant and not take information at face value, as it may be coming from a Russian-backed source.
