An unnamed Tennessee-based company, identified as Tenet Media, has been implicated in a Justice Department investigation alleging funding from Russian operatives as part of a Kremlin-orchestrated influence operation targeting the 2024 US election. The company is linked to right-wing commentators with substantial followings on platforms like YouTube.
The indictment, unsealed in New York's Southern District, accuses two RT employees of funneling nearly $10 million to Tenet Media, referred to as 'Company 1' in court documents. Tenet Media describes itself as a network of independent content creators focusing on Western political and cultural issues.
