The U.S. Department of Justice on September 4 announced it was seizing 32 internet domains “used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns colloquially referred to as ‘Doppelganger.'” DOJ also announced criminal charges against two Russian media executives.
The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control at the same time designated 10 individuals and two entities “as part of a coordinated U.S. government response to Moscow’s malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election.” The State Department also took actions against Russian parties for such conduct.
