This article is about Dimitri Simes, a 76-yr old American citizen and journalist, who has had his accounts frozen and is threatened with arrest for supposedly violating US sanctions (i.e. he wrote articles for Russian media); and money-laundering (he moved his Russian salary from a Russian bank, through a third-party country so that he could pay tax in the USA)
Simes served as President of the Nixon Center and later as president and CEO of the Center for the National Interest, a major Republican-party aligned think tank.
The sanctions against Channel One were not approved by the US Congress
And I would be very interested to understand how it was that when my house [in the US] was searched [in August], which lasted four days, and things were taken out by trucks with trailers, how it was that on my lawn, according to the neighbors, there were about 50 people, many of whom came not in official cars, as the FBI usually does, but in private cars. And how was it that these people, some of whom later turned up in a shop in a neighbouring small town, somehow spoke Ukrainian? I would really like to understand what role Ukrainian interference in American politics played in this situation.
