The One America News channel confessed in 2019 that it was working with active Russian agent (Andriy) Andrii Derkach less than a year before President Donald Trump's administration revealed him to be working for Russian intelligence.
According to a tweet that is still visible on OAN's account, the network did "over a half dozen interviews with Ukrainian officials, including Ukrainian MP Andrii Derkach, pic shown."

The network did a series of propaganda films they called "documentaries," claiming it would prove that now President Joe Biden was enthralled in a Ukraine scandal that never existed. While conspiracy theorists continued to perpetuate the lies, Trump's intelligence staff concluded that Derkach was working with Russian intelligence in Ukraine.
Derkach was also named in the recently released report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that said Russian intelligence was working with Trump allies and conservative news outlets to promote false propaganda.

(19,204 posts)The farthest leaning right-wing propaganda outlet and Drumpf are working for the Russians. Was there ever a doubt? Not to anyone with with an IQ greater than their own shoe size, there wasn't.

(11,564 posts)Poor Drumpf. What's a pResident with such glaring deficiencies and shortcomings to do? Find something even more deeply-embedded in the Russian web in which to enmesh himself. Hard to believe, but true.
Also incredibly ironic.
