US accuses Russia of interfering in 2024 election campaign through state media outlets

The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on several Russian individuals and entities, including the editor-in-chief of RT, a state-run media network. The sanctions are in response to allegations that Russia is using state-run media to spread disinformation. The US government has also accused RT of employing American social media influencers to further its disinformation campaigns. The FBI has sought to seize 32 internet domains allegedly involved in a "malign foreign influence" operation. The actions are part of a broader effort to counter foreign influence in the US, particularly in the context of the 2020 presidential election. The US government has also accused Russia of using RT to exacerbate US political divisions and weaken public support for American aid to Ukraine.
