Russia reacted to the end of the U.S. special counsel’s investigation with glee.
“The Kremlin has always maintained that there was no collusion,” Dmitry Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow think tank, told the Los Angeles Times. “Since the Kremlin generally expects no good news to come out of the U.S. these days, you could say they may have been surprised.”
Of the 25 Russians charged through the investigation, some were accused of spreading disinformation on social media; others were charged with hacking Democratic Party and campaign staff, then releasing emails through WikiLeaks and other intermediaries to undermine Trump’s 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton.
“We have not seen the actual report, almost no one has, so we are unable to comment on it in detail,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday. “We have seen a little extract, a small resume, that doesn’t actually say anything new other than there was no collusion.”
