"FBI Investigation Uncovers Web of Deception: Right-Wing Influencers Accused of Promoting Russian Agenda. U.S. prosecutors have made a stunning revelation, alleging that several high-profile right-wing influencers were unwittingly recruited by a covert Russian operation to spread propaganda and influence American public opinion.
