The Biden administration is set to reveal declassified US intelligence findings that suggest RT, the Russian state media network, is fully integrated into Russia's intelligence operations globally. The State Department will present new evidence indicating that RT has moved beyond being merely a media outlet and is involved in information and covert influence operations, military procurement for the Kremlin, and possesses cyber capabilities. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that much of this new information originates from RT employees. The administration aims to counter RT's global influence and share information about the risks associated with RT's activities with other countries. The announcement is expected on Friday.
