The Russian state-funded media outlet had been facing intense scrutiny during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

An employee for RT America told Fox News that she and approximately 120 other staffers, who were described as Americans, were informed in a meeting on Thursday that operations were shutting down at the network's Washington D.C. headquarters as well as the New York, Los Angeles and Miami bureaus. The staffer said employees were given severance packages.

A memo from T&R Productions, the production company behind RT America informed staff about mass layoffs.
