AdvertisementAfter the Department of Justice accused a US media company of being bankrolled by Russia, several conservative influencers who've worked for the company denied any knowledge of Russian involvement.

The aim, according to the DOJ, was to "create and distribute content to US audiences with hidden Russian government messaging."
