State Dept. Was Given $120M To Fight Russian Election Interference. It Spent $0.

As of March, the State Department had spent nothing of the $120M earmarked for fighting Russian meddling in the U.S.

The U.S. State Department was given $120 million to spend on countering foreign attempts to influence the upcoming midterm elections, but as of March, the department had spent not one penny of that money.
