FBI Raids Virginia Home of Political Analyst Dimitri Simes
Aug 16, 2024, 07:32 AM
The FBI has conducted a raid on the Virginia home of Dimitri Simes, a Russian-American political analyst and former head of the Center for the National Interest. The raid, which took place on Tuesday and Thursday, involved numerous law enforcement officers who reportedly removed items from the property. Simes, who has been residing in Russia since October 2022, was not present during the raid and claims to have had no prior notification of the FBI's actions. The FBI confirmed that the search was court-authorized but did not provide further details, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. Simes is known for his role as a commentator on Russian state television and has been a prominent figure in political circles with ties to former President Richard Nixon. The raid has sparked discussions about its implications, with some viewing it as an intimidation effort.
