The indictment alleges a media company, funded by Russian state media, engaged six conservative influencers to create content that served Kremlin interests, notably amplifying U.S. divisions.
This is the third election cycle highlighting Russia's attempts to interfere in U.S. politics, with particular focus on leveraging popular right-wing content creators since Trump's presidency.
Influencers like Pool, Rubin, and Johnson claim no wrongdoing, expressing shock at the allegations and asserting they had been misled about the funding sources.
Pool stated, 'We still do not know what is true as these are only allegations,' while Johnson insisted he operated under a standard deal for the media startup.
