🦊 Takedown Of A Former Fox News Producer A former Fox News producer and US citizen has been ensnared in the West's sanctions against Russian oligarchs. John Hanick, who was a producer at Fox for the first 15 years of its existence, was arrested in London last month for violating 8-year-old sanctions imposed on Russia in the wake of that nation's annexation of Crimea. He is also charged with lying to FBI agents.
