The Kremlin ridiculed as “nonsense” claims that President Trump has been working on Russia’s behalf, Bloomberg reports.
Said Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov: “That’s stupid. How can the president of the United States be an agent of another country? Just think about that.”
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also dismissed “accusations that President Trump is effectively a Russian agent” by attacking Congress and the American media for undermining the U.S. leader.
