Republicans 'skeptical' of DOJ move to block Russian election interference
Fox News
The DOJ announced new efforts to crack down on election interference on Wednesday, but Republicans say they are “skeptical" of the new moves so close to the November election.
The DOJ on Wednesday announced it is seizing 32 websites it says were linked to the Russian government and used to spread disinformation. The Justice, State and Treasury departments also indicted a pair of employees at Russian state-controlled outlet RT.
The indictment claimed that RT, in a $10 million scheme, had duped US-based influencers into sharing content "deemed favorable to the Russian government" through a Tennessee-based company believed to be Tenet Media.
The DOJ accused RT of "conspiring to commit money laundering and to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act."
