RT America registers as foreign agent in US

The Russian international news network RT America has registered as a foreign agent in the United States at the demand of the U.S. Department of Justice, RT said Monday on its website, citing its editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan.


"Between a criminal case and the registration we chose the latter. Congratulations to the U.S. freedom of speech and all those who still believe in it," Simonyan said.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice demanded that RT America register as a foreign agent by November 13 under the Foreign Agents Registration Act enacted in 1938.
