RT commentator Scott Bennett dies at 46

The former US army psychological warfare officer and political analyst had pancreatic cancer

US political commentator Scott Bennett, who contributed to RT, has died of pancreatic cancer at age 46, his friends and family said on Friday.

A former US army psychological warfare officer, Bennett provided political commentary to RT and other media outlets. He also travelled to Donbass in 2023 to witness the situation on the ground firsthand.

RTD aired a documentary detailing his journey to Donetsk and other frontline cities titled “Frontline Diary of an American Officer.”

In 2014, the analyst authored the book ‘Shell Game: a Military Whistleblowing Report to Congress’, which focused on former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner granting permission for an arms sale to Qatar. Weapons sold as part of that deal ended up in the hands of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), according to Bennett.
