Lauren Chen

We had to reach out to family to help

get a retainer together for legal representation.

And basically, we had every mainstream media outlet you can think of do hit pieces on us where the content that was put out by American creators who had total editorial control over their content.

like Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, even some Canadians like Lauren Southern.

Their content was now being referred to as pro Kremlin propaganda, which is absolutely untrue.

And no, it was a total joke, honestly, and I never had much trust in the mainstream media.

But seeing how they twisted the story to that extent, it was frustrating.

Yet at the same time, this is a very high profile case and my lawyer is telling me, look, we need to navigate things that the government is doing.

I wouldn't really worry about the media right now.

Let's focus on this.

When the time comes and this all goes away and you can see there's not gonna be any charges against you, you'll be able to kind of clear the air.

What's been frustrating though is that, so we were basically offline for an entire year as there was an investigation going on.

But the investigation was closed, I believe.

And we heard that it was closed in April after our lawyer reached out to the FBI looking for an update.

And it's funny because we didn't really hear back from anyone after, I would say, December.

So September, this raid happens.

The AG is giving this press release.

We're painted as public enemy number one.

I'm getting death threats.

We have to move because people think that I'm a spy who's trying to subvert the election.
