Conservative influencers were allegedly 'duped' into working with Russian assets as they raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars for their videos under a sprawling $10million 'covert project' by Kremlin-backed RT, federal officials said Wednesday.
The bombshellaccuses RT employees Konstantin Kalashnikov and Elena of Afanasyeva of implementing a plan to shell out nearly $10million to a Tennessee-based company to churn out videos 'consistent' with the Kremlin's 'interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions.'
Though the indictment does not name the Tennessee-based media company, its details match up exactly with Tenet Media - which employs well-known conservative personalities like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson.
