11 individuals indicted in connection to Russian efforts to influence U.S. elections
TL;DR Summary
Four Americans have been charged with aiding pro-Kremlin propaganda in Florida and Missouri, expanding a previous case that charged a Russian operative with running illegal influence agents within the United States. The FBI signaled its interest in the alleged activities in a series of raids last summer, at which point authorities charged a Moscow man, Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, with working for years on behalf of Russian government officials to fund and direct fringe political groups in the United States.
