This was one of the large surprises for me when the indictment dropped. I was on $275,000 for all operations, and that was not my personal salary. I was contracted to make three videos a week, news reports and two mini-documentaries. I had multiple staff, including a researcher and an assistant. This budget paid for my studio, flights, videographers, staff, myself.
I only made around $100,000 Canadian for my personal salary, so if you want to do a separate panel on the wage gap in alleged foreign influence campaigns, we can certainly do that.
