Russia's Putin denies having compromising information on Trump

By Phil Stewart and David Brunnstrom | WASHINGTON

The remarks were the latest in a series of denials from Moscow that have had little impact so far on a political crisis in the United States over potential links between Russia and Trump's inner circle.

The issue will be front and center this week in Washington, where former FBI Director James Comey is due to testify on whether Trump tried to get him to back off an investigation into alleged ties between Trump's election campaign and Moscow.

Both Kelly and Putin took up a lot of air time for nothing. I hope the audience share was small.
