WASHINGTON - The United States Justice Department announced new charges on Tuesday against four Americans in Florida and three Russians for allegedly working on behalf of Moscow “to conduct a multi-year foreign malign influence campaign in the United States”.

Four Florida residents involved in several political groups, including the African People’s Socialist Party, were also charged, the department said, adding that Ionov allegedly recruited them “to participate in the influence campaign and act as agents of Russia in the United States”.
