US Attorney General Merrick B. Garland emphasized that the actions taken against the RT employees demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding America's democratic processes from external manipulation, stating, 'We will not tolerate attempts by an authoritarian regime to exploit our country's free exchange of ideas in order to covertly further its own propaganda efforts. This indictment shows that foreign influence cannot be allowed to undermine American freedom and integrity.'
