Report: Kremlin Troll Wrote for Far-Left U.S. Sites

RIA NOVOSTI


A Russian troll writing under the pseudonym "Alice Donovan" managed to convince a number of American editors to publish their work for the past two years, a new Washington Post report detailed on Monday. In February, 2016, the individual reportedly wrote an email to the left-leaning publication CounterPunch with a simple message: “Hello, my name is Alice Donovan and I’m a beginner freelance journalist." Initially, the troll's articles published in CounterPunch and some 10 or more other online publications didn't have much to do with domestic politics. But as the 2016 election intensified, Donovan began to target Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, the FBI tracked Donovan's work—part of a bureau counterintelligence operation with the codename "NorthernNight." More than a year after the FBI identified the troll, her work was still being published in CounterPunch, often critical of American policy in the Middle East. Jeffrey St. Clair, CounterPunch’s editor, later tried to get more information out of the troll to verify their identify but received no such substantive information.
