FBI agents have raided and searched the Virginia home of Dimitri Simes, an author and policy analyst, who advised Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election campaign and who currently hosts a current affairs program on Russia’s state-run Channel One.

The raid began on 13 August, the FBI told the local Rappahannock News, which first reported the story.

He was not aware he was the focus of any current law enforcement investigation, he said.

Simes’s son, Dimitri Simes Jr, told Sputnik News that his father has not been in the United States since October 2022.

Simes and the Center for the National Interest featured prominently in the Mueller report, which cleared them of any wrongdoing.

Last year, Simes moderated a conversation with Russian president Vladimir Putin at the St Petersburg international economic forum.

And in June, Simes participated in a closed-door meeting with Putin, the state-owned Russian news agency Tass reported. »
