Dem Sen. Murphy: DoJ Indictment Shows How ‘Deeply Integrated Russia Is with the MAGA Media Environment’

‘I’m glad that the notice is now out to any other MAGA media companies that may be taking Russian money’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: "This is a stunning indictment, and it really shows potentially how deeply integrated Russia is with the MAGA media environment. This company that is described in Tennessee as a pretty well-known MAGA media company, it has on its payroll many of the top pro-Trump voices in this country, and they were knowingly conspiring with Russia, using millions of dollars to put content online and to pay a number of pro-Trump commentators that, you know, have been pushing an anti-Harris and pro-Russia narrative for months. So unfortunately, this may be the tip of the iceberg. It is possible that there are many other mainstream conservative websites that are in the pocket of the Russian government, and I'm glad that the Justice Department is on top of this. I'm glad that the notice is now out to any other MAGA media companies that may be taking Russian money, that this is not going to be permitted and that you're going to be held accountable if you're doing business with Vladimir Putin."
