The Daily Wire reported that the Russian government announced sanctions against 13 Americans “in response to sanctions that the U.S. and the West have placed on Russians” after the invasion of Ukraine. The piece quotes the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on a “stop-list” and reciprocity after entry bans on Russian officials, and it names, among others, President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, National Security Adviser Jacob Sullivan, CIA Director William Burns, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, “Daleep Singh, Biden’s deputy national security adviser for international economics,” USAID Administrator Samantha Power, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, and Reta Jo Lewis of the Export-Import Bank.
That is Daily Wire reporting of a foreign-government list. It is not a U.S. court finding, not a U.S. indictment, and not proof of a crime by Singh. It is evidence that Moscow treated the deputy national security advisor for international economics as part of the Biden sanctions shop — the same office he briefed from in February. This page does not reprint the MFA’s “Russophobic” rhetoric as Fact. It records that a preferred-outlet piece named him on that list.
