The U.S. citizens and two Russians were added to a case involving a man described by prosecutors as the founder of a organization funded by Russia to carry out an influence campaign in the U.S.
Four Americans affiliated with a Black empowerment and political organization have been charged along with three Russians with conspiring to covertly sow discord in U.S. society, spread Russian propaganda and interfere illegally in U.S. elections, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday.
“Russia’s foreign intelligence service allegedly weaponized our First Amendment rights – freedoms Russia denies to its own citizens – to divide Americans and interfere in elections in the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.
Court records did not list attorneys for any of the seven defendants, and it wasn’t immediately clear if they have been arrested. An e-mail seeking comment was sent to the African People’s Socialist Party, which has previously denied working covertly for Russia or that any members committed a crime.
