American journalist Owens spoke about harassment due to a trip to Russia

American journalist Candice Owens said on Monday, May 2, that she had faced attacks and accusations of involvement in the "Russian conspiracy" because of her trip to Russia.

"Pressure from the administration of [US President Donald] There was no Trump. But you know, there are a lot of hangers-on around her who are just lying. It's a lie, for example, that I'm traveling without my family, that there is some kind of secret conspiracy, secret financing - all these crazy stories about a "Russian conspiracy," she said in an interview with TASS.

This is how Owens answered the question of whether she had received threats in connection with the trip. According to her, critics are trying to "make people afraid to travel and want to criminalize trips to Russia." She stressed that she firmly resists such pressure, since there is not a drop of truth in the accusations. In addition, Owens stressed that people trying to accuse her are trying to suggest that a simple trip to Russia could lead to legal consequences.
