Likely nothing. As Ryuu said, it may have been different if the US was in an active and direct conflict with Russia, but at present they are not, so whilst we may mock them as being less than journalists they likely can claim right the disseminate their pro-Russia stories under the First amendment. Even the election interference one is likely to be a hard-sell as whilst I believe there is a law about election candidates getting foreign funding I don’t think any of these people are working for a candidate in an official capacity. That will be why the US is going after the financiers, as they wouldn’t have such protection. |
