The Justice Department has seized more than 30 web domains that it said were part of a broader, ongoing, surreptitious effort by the Russian government to influence the 2024 U.S. election and American public opinion, federal authorities announced Wednesday.
The seized sites were linked to a Russian campaign known as “Doppelganger,” one of the most prolific and public campaigns spreading disinformation linked to Moscow in recent years. Experts recently saw evidence of the campaign spreading Russian disinformation related to the failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, and the Biden administration has worked to counter the campaign’s efforts in recent months.
“The Justice Department’s message is clear: We have no tolerance for attempts by authoritarian regimes to exploit our democratic system of government,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a press conference announcing the crackdown.
Russia has targeted American elections with disinformation for years, most notably during the 2016 presidential campaign, when Russia was linked to disinformation campaigns designed to sway the vote toward Trump. In response to a reporter’s question, Garland said the Kremlin’s aim has not changed.

This justice department is going after people that spread misinformation and lied about it?
No charges for the FBI and CIA that had over 50 members use their position to LIE about the Hunter laptop?
Fucking Garland has a lot of stones to open that Pandora's box - the AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES are already operating in US soil.
