Gay conservative influencer Dave Rubin says he was the victim of a Russian scheme, as the Department of Justice (DOJ) says that Moscow allegedly used him as part of a disinformation campaign to influence the results of the 2024 elections in the U.S.
The DOJ announced Wednesday that two Russian nationals affiliated with RT, previously known as Russia Today, have been charged in connection with an alleged scheme to “covertly finance and direct” a media company based in Tennessee. The company reportedly promoted Russian interests online through approximately $10 million in payments, which made up nearly 90% of its total funds.
