Dmitry Peskov tells ABC’s “Good Morning America” that reports of Russian meddling in America’s election amount to “fake news.” Asked by anchor George Stephanopoulos if there is a “new Cold War,” Peskov replied, “Well, maybe even worse.” He said much of the current chill was caused by the Obama administration’s decision to expel Russian diplomats and confiscate property because of alleged hacking against American political institutions.
Peskov also said Friday that Russian officials aren’t worried about what might emerge from any congressional testimony under immunity by ousted U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn, saying there is “no evidence at all” of any improprieties.
No one to blame except the Kremlin gremlin himself. He is KGB after all.
