FBI reportedly searches home of Moscow-based Biden critic

The family of Dimitri Simes is being subjected to government intimidation, his son has claimed

The FBI has executed a search warrant at the home of Russian-born US political pundit and author Dimitri Simes, who has been a vocal critic of the administration of President Joe Biden.

The law enforcement action took place on Tuesday at the property located in Rappahannock County, according to a local news outlet.

The author’s son, Dimitri Simes Jr., described it as “a bandit-like intimidation attempt” by the US government in a statement released on X (formerly Twitter).

In an email on Wednesday night, FBI spokesperson Samantha Shero declined to comment on the raid, except to confirm that it had been authorized by a court, Rappahannock News has reported.
