The Kremlin said that “in a similar situation our Audit Chamber would’ve certainly probed into what the taxpayers’ money has been wasted on,” but 'it’s up to the U.S. taxpayers to ask such questions.'
Russia dismissed the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and contact between President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow, calling the report a waste of taxpayers' money.
The report did, however, support and expand on previous U.S. intelligence assessments that found Russia had intervened in the election through a coordinated, state-sponsored electronic campaign. Peskov repeated Kremlin denials of these allegations, saying the report “contains no proven evidence that Russia allegedly interfered in the election process in the United States” and that “we do not accept such charges.
Trump has placed the cost of what he called a"witch hunt" as high as $40 million and has interpreted its results, published Thursday in a redacted form, as an exoneration of him and his administration. His opponents, however, saw a potential case for obstruction of justice and, possibly, impeachment.
"Unfortunately, there is no sign that U.S. political circles, particularly those who seek to score political points in the Congress from Russophobia, are ready for dialogue," Ryabkov said."The document is most likely to have no effect from the standpoint of improving relations."
