Sept. 4 (UPI) -- A new visa-restriction policy will help protect the integrity of U.S. elections against Russian interference designed to undermine the nation's democratic institutions.
The U.S. Department of State on Wednesday announced three actions designed to "hinder malicious actors from using Kremlin-supported media as cover to conduct covert influence activities that target the U.S. elections in 2024."
The State Department is coordinating with the Department of Treasury and other federal agencies to introduce a new visa-restriction policy, determine violations of the Foreign Missions Act and offer $10 million "Rewards for Justice."
"We are taking actions against these individuals exclusively for their nefarious, covert influence actions, and not for the content of any reporting or disinformation activities," officials with the U.S. Department of State said.
