In 2024, the DOJ indicted two RT employees for funneling $10M to Tenet Media, which paid Benny Johnson ~$400K/month for videos promoting pro-Russian views (e.g., anti-Ukraine aid). Johnson claims he was unaware of the funding source and is a victim. No charges against him; sources like DOJ, CNN, and Wikipedia confirm he was likely unwitting. No major 2025 updates found.
