American Social Media Influencer Jackson Hinkle Addresses Claims He Is an American Agent: I Have Close Connections with the Russian and Chinese Governments; I’ve Never Given Anyone Reason to Distrust My Character; I’m a Communist and Seek to Convince the American People

American pro-Kremlin social media influencer Jackson Hinkle addressed claims that he is an American intelligence agent in an interview with a Yemeni journalist, posted by Sultan Al-Sadeh on X on March 11, 2025. Hinkle stated that he has been vetted by the intelligence services of Russia and China and has had close connections with their government and leadership. He explained that his actions are driven by his belief as a Marxist and Communist, not for personal gain, and that he aims to persuade Americans who disagree with him. Hinkle also expressed a desire to visit Yemen. The interview appears to have been conducted in Lebanon, where Hinkle attended the funeral of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
