Kremlin: U.S. report accusing Russia of election meddling harms relations

Source: Reuters




JANUARY 11, 2018 / 5:39 AM / UPDATED 2 HOURS AGO

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 committee’s top Democrat, who said on Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin would “push as far as he’s allowed to push, if we don’t push back.”

That they did not do anything to our elections, when everyone knows they did. Just like they are doing now, not only here but many other countries are seeing it too. Just more signs of trump and putin conspiring.

...this could not have happened. Whatever Putin says, keep watching what he does (if possible).
