Right-Wing Influencer Accused of Taking Kremlin Cash Fired
The conservative creator Lauren Chen had her contract terminated by Blaze Media on Thursday, a day after she was implicated in a bombshell DOJ indictment alleging a Russian influence campaign.
Chen, a co-founder of Tenet Media, had been collecting checks from the right-wing Blaze Media for creating YouTube content and appearing on BlazeTV, which was founded by the former Fox News host Glenn Beck.
That relationship is no more, however, Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon confirmed in a statement shared with Semafor.
