In short, New Knowledge ran its own disinformation campaign to discredit a politician as a "Russia-preferred candidate." Their tactics included the creation of a mini-army of fake Russian bots and fake Facebook groups. They were, in fact, kicked off of Facebook once the New York Times broke the scandal, on the claims that they had been "engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior". [1]
