The journalist was a correspondent in the White House. The Federal Bureau of Investigation of the US interrogated the former correspondent of the Russian agency Sputnik in the context of the investigation of the influence of Russian propaganda in the United States. According to Yahoo News, the journalist was a correspondent in the White House. If it is confirmed that the activity of this media was "an integral part of the propaganda hand of the Kremlin," it violates the US law on the registration of foreign agents. It is also reported that the FBI received a flash drive containing thousands of internal Sputnik e-mails and documents. This information is considered by the special services as confirmation of the role of the media in the information campaign of the Russian government during the elections to the United States.

However, whether this interrogation is part of the investigation of special prosecutor Robert Muller is not known. Earlier it was reported that US Attorney General Robert Muller, investigating possible Russian interference in the US presidential election, is going to question a number of senior officials of President Trump's administration - both current and already inactive.
