Russia dismisses Democratic Senate report as unfounded


The Kremlin says a new report by Senate Democrats describing Russian interference in the U.S. throughout Europe is unfounded.

The report commissioned by the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is the first from Congress to detail alleged Russian efforts to undermine democracies since the 2016 presidential election.

President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "the accusations of alleged meddling leveled against our country are absolutely unfounded."

In a conference call Thursday with reporters, Peskov said "paranoid concerns" about the alleged Russian meddling "not only hurt bilateral relations, but the U.S. itself."
