"Prigozhin is also the head of the Internet Research Agency, the St. Petersburg-based troll farm [that ran] Russia’s disinformation operation during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted both Prigozhin and Internet Research Agency, along with 12 other Russian nationals and two other companies owned by Prigozhin ... though the case was later dropped by former AG Bill Barr."
