Court documents unsealed Wednesday reveal Russian state media producers funneled nearly $10 million to an online media company.
The company, Tenet Media , boasts a slate of high-profile right-wing commentators as “talent,” including Tim Pool , Benny Johnson , Lauren Southern , Tayler Hansen , Matt Christiansen and Dave Rubin .
The personalities weren’t directly named or accused of wrongdoing by the Justice Department .
Russian funders asked Tenet co-founder to “blame Ukraine and the United States ” for a terrorist attack on a concert hall outside of Moscow .
Tenet staffers were asked to repost a video of “a well-known U.S. political commentator” thought to be former Fox News host Tucker Carlson visiting a grocery store in Russia in February .
“It just feels like overt shilling,” one employee identified as “Producer-1” wrote in an internal chat to one of the company’s founders.
Tenet Media has not responded to requests for comment and stopped posting content on Wednesday .

In Soviet Cold War jargon, they’re referred to “useful idiots” — people who don’t know they are doing Russia ’s bidding.
