'Putin's chef' claims to have interfered in US elections: report

'We have interfered, are interfering and will continue to interfere,' Yevgeny Prigozhin said

Yevgeny Prigozhin, an entrepreneur known as "Putin’s chef" because of his catering contracts with the Kremlin, allegedly admitted on Monday that he had interfered in U.S. elections and said he would continue to do so — for the first time confirming the accusations he has been rejecting for years.

"We have interfered, are interfering and will continue to interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way," Prigozhin said in remarks posted by his spokespeople on social media. Prigozhin, a dozen other Russian nationals, and three Russian companies were charged with operating a covert social media campaign aimed at fomenting discord and dividing American public opinion ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. [...]

Prigozhin had denied involvement in election interference until now. He also previously denied ties to the Wagner mercenary force, but in September, admitted to founding and financing it in 2014 and started speaking openly about its involvement in the war in Ukraine.
