Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that U.S. “internal political games, of course, concern our country.”
Russia has dismissed mounting speculation about the findings of an investigation into whether or not President Donald Trump worked with Moscow to influence the last presidential election.
"The Russian factor dominates the agenda for them for apparent reasons," she added, signaling an unnamed Democratic Party candidate for promoting such theories."So this is why the internal political games, of course, concern our country and these include sanctions and the endless stream of atrocious statements without any proof."
U.S. intelligence later determined that the leak—which appeared to demonstrate a party bias toward Clinton and against competitor Independent Senator Bernie Sanders—was likely conducted under the orders of the Kremlin. These charges continued to develop as Trump took office in early 2017 and, shortly after, former Mueller launched a probe that has been tied to multiple indictments.
