Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said reports that the FBI had confirmed links between Trump campaign and Russian intelligence were “not deserving to be commented on.”
“It's the usual information from unclear sources that defies reason and doesn't deserve to be commented on,” Peskov told reporters March 23.
Allegations that the Trump team and Kremlin coordinated the release of information designed to undermine the credibility of presidential rival Hillary Clinton have been ongoing. CNN's report, however, suggests the FBI may have found credible information that prove the allegations to be true.
CNN's sources are anonymous U.S. officals and the information they have provided to the U.S. television network remains unverified.
The U.S. officials, according to CNN, even cautioned: “information was inconclusive and the investigation is ongoing.”
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
