Liberal Donor Apologizes For Funding Group That Falsely Claimed Russians Supported Roy Moore In Alabama Senate Race

A liberal billionaire who funded an organization that falsely portrayed Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore as being supported by the Russian government has apologized.

Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, donated millions to Democrat groups during the last election cycle, but one of those groups, American Engagement Technologies (AET), ran a disinformation campaign that linked Moore to the Kremlin. AET is run by former Obama appointee Mikey Dickerson and received $750,000 from Hoffman.
