Lauren Chen Returns to US
Lauren Chen is a Canadian who runs a popular YouTube channel called Tenet Media.
She had to leave the US earlier this year because of problems with her work visa.
The Trump administration helped her come back, and she returned to Nashville just in time for the holidays.
Before this, there was a big scandal involving her channel and money from a Russian news network called RT.
Lauren and her husband were accused of hiding where the money came from, but they didn't face any charges.
She blamed the Biden administration for her visa troubles.
Lauren Chen, a Canadian right-wing YouTuber, returned to the US on Christmas Day.
She is the founder of Tenet Media, a YouTube channel featuring Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin.
Chen's work visa was revoked earlier in 2024 due to an FBI investigation into $10 million in covert Russian RT funding.
She and her husband allegedly routed money through shell companies to hide foreign ties, but they were not charged.
Chen blamed the Biden administration for her visa issues and credited the Trump administration for her return.
