Russian propaganda agency Sputnik was denied accreditation to the US Congress. For the same pass, journalists go to the Senate, so Sputnik will not be able to attend a number of hearings in the House of Representatives.

According to the publication Politico, reporter Andrew Feinberg was denied a permanent press card because of a rule that prohibits the issuance of such certificates to publications with public funding. The Russian international news agency has the right to challenge this decision.

At the end of April, the staff of the publication refused to accredit the headquarters of French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron.
