What was said
"We are aware of multiple foreign influencers' campaigns that are actively tracking both the intermediary companies receiving these funds as pass-through, the influencers who are failing to disclose their compensation."
Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz and Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna confirmed an active federal investigation into U.S. influencers allegedly receiving undisclosed compensation from foreign governments to promote anti-American narratives. Luna stated 'there are receipts' documenting these payments. The investigation follows reports of foreign funding flowing through intermediary organizations to prominent online personalities. New disclosure laws are being considered.
