  "account": "Conservative commentator Laura Loomer, a Trump ally, claims Russia is funding American media figures to spread anti-Ukrainian sentiment. In an interview, Loomer suggested that many American podcasters may be unknowingly receiving money from Russia. She named Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens as targets, pointing to Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Owens' appearance at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum as evidence. Loomer also alleged that Carlson and Owens have pushed anti-Ukrainian narratives, citing Carlson's interview with a former Zelenskyy press secretary and Owens' claim that the Ukrainian president spends US taxpayer money on cocaine. Loomer's own experience touring Ukraine in 2026 after criticizing Russian media helped fuel her accusations.",
