Russia calls Mueller’s indictment absurd
On Friday, Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said the charges filed by Mueller were “absurd.”
In a post on Facebook, Zakharova wrote, “(Thirteen) people intervened in the elections in the US? 13 against billion-dollar budgets of special services? Against intelligence and counterintelligence, against the latest developments and technologies? … Absurd? Yes.” She added, “This is modern American political reality.”
