Kremlin declines to comment on Mueller report findings
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday he couldn't comment on Mueller's findings since no one had seen the report in full, and he denied again that Russia had meddled in 2016.
Reiterating Russia's long-standing blanket denial that it had interfered in the 2016 election, Peskov said of Mueller's investigation, "It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if it's not there."of Mueller’s 22-month investigation into Russia's effort to influence the 2016 election.
Alexei Pushkov, head of the Russian Senate's information committee, wrote on Twitter, "The results of Mueller’s investigation are a disgrace for the U.S. and its political elites." Mueller’s investigation saw 34 people charged, among them six Trump aides and advisers. Twenty-five Russians, many of them military intelligence officers, were indicted for their role in the hack of Democratic party institutions, or for taking part in the social media campaign. In those indictments, Mueller laid out how the Russia’s intelligence services and a so-called "troll factory" in Saint Petersburg had sought to influence the U.S. electorate.
