Sources in the Biden Administration have told NBC News that will announce a series of actions Wednesday targeting what it says are Russian government-sponsored attempts to manipulate U.S. public opinion ahead of the November election.
Some of the alleged manipulation has been through RT, a Russian-backed media network, the sources said. The expected moves include Treasury sanctions and a law enforcement action by the Department of Justice. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to speak publicly this afternoon about the announcement.
