Republicans 'skeptical' of DOJ move to block Russian election interference

President Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) announced new efforts to crack down on Russian election interference on Wednesday, but Republicans say they are "skeptical" of the new moves so close to the November election.

"We’ve seen this before. In 2016, the same people pushed the Russia hoax and we now know it was totally bogus. Now, it may be true this time, but I am extremely skeptical," House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital.

The DOJ on Wednesday announced it is seizing 32 websites it says were linked to the Russian government and used to spread disinformation. The Justice, State and Treasury departments also indicted a pair of employees at Russian state-controlled outlet RT.

The indictment claimed that RT, in a $10 million scheme, had duped US-based influencers into sharing content "deemed favorable to the Russian government" through a Tennessee-based company believed to be Tenet Media.

The DOJ accused RT of "conspiring to commit money laundering and to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act."

The content was designed to amplify "U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition to core Russian interests, particularly its ongoing war in Ukraine."

Stephen Miller, a longtime Trump advisor, wrote on X: "The biggest election interference in American History is the DOJ’s weaponization of the security state — surveillance, fake intelligence, sham indictments, raids, mass censorship, importing illegal voters — to target President Trump, his aides and supporters. Third world tyranny."

"Russian interference again says the Democrat’s DOJ," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., wrote on X. "We would hate for Russian influence
