US accuses Russia of 2024 election interference

09/05/2024 7

The US has charged and sanctioned Russian state media executives and restricted Kremlin-linked broadcasters as it accused Moscow of a widespread campaign to interfere with the presidential election.

The justice, state and treasury departments on Wednesday, announced coordinated actions to aggressively counter the alleged operations.

Attorney General Merrick Garland accused state broadcaster Russia Today of paying a Tennessee firm $10m to create and distribute content to US audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.

According to him, Russia’s programme was aimed at reducing international support for Ukraine, bolstering pro-Russian policies and interests, and influencing voters in the US.

Garland added that Russian state media had engaged in a nefarious campaign to covertly recruit unwitting American influencers in support of their malign activity.
