US Security Compromised? Trump’s Kremlin-Tied Aide Sparks Fury Over State Dept Disinfo Cut | CLRCUT

Darren Beattie, now Acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, reportedly shut down the RFIMI office weeks after his appointment—while married to Yulia Kirillova, niece of a Putin-linked former Russian official. Beattie, a far-right media figure, has long echoed pro-Kremlin talking points and mocked US intelligence. The case raises sharp concerns over vetting, loyalty, and foreign influence at the heart of Washington’s soft power apparatus.
