MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Thursday described a report published by Democratic U.S. lawmakers accusing Russia of election meddling as damaging for bilateral relations, as well as for the United States itself.
Democratic U.S. lawmakers accused Russia on Wednesday of a relentless assault on democratic institutions worldwide, and called on President Donald Trump to treat election interference as a national crisis.
Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee released a report detailing what they described as nearly two decades of Russian efforts to tilt politics across Europe, criticizing Trump for doing too little to address the issue.
The report was commissioned by Senator Ben Cardin, the committees top Democrat, who said on Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin would push as far as hes allowed to push, if we dont push back.
