Russian President Denies Meddling in U.S. Election

HeadlineOct 28, 2016

Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed in on claims that he’s meddling in the U.S. election. Putin made the remarks Thursday in southern Russia.

President Vladimir Putin: “Does anyone seriously think that Russia can in some way influence the choice of the American people? Is America some kind of banana republic? America is a great country, correct me if I am wrong.”

Hillary Clinton has accused rival Donald Trump of being a “puppet” of Putin. She also says Russia is behind the theft of campaign emails made public through WikiLeaks.
