Trump accused Russia of creating chaos in the US

Trump: if the goal of the Russian Federation was to create chaos in the US, then it achieved this


WASHINGTON, February 18. / TASS /. US President Donald Trump believes that if Russia's goal was to create dissonance and chaos in American society, then thanks to investigations and numerous hearings in the US Congress, it achieved its goal. This opinion he expressed on Sunday in Twitter.

"If Russia's goal was to create dissonance, division and chaos in the US, then with all these hearings in the [Congress] committees, investigations and party hatred, they [Russia] fulfilled their wildest dreams." They are laughing in Moscow until they drop. ! " - wrote the American leader.

In addition, Trump stressed that the allegations of the collusion of his campaign headquarters with Moscow are a fiction, noting that while he never denied the possibility of Russia's interference in the presidential elections. "I never said that Russia did not interfere in the elections, I said that" it could be Russia, China or another country or grouping, or a certain genius weighing 400 pounds (lying about in bed) and playing computer. "" Fiction "was that Trump's campaign was in collusion with Russia - it never was," he wrote.

The US authorities on Friday filed official charges against 13 citizens and 3 organizations in Russia for alleged involvement in the intervention in the US presidential election in 2016. According to documents of the Ministry of Justice, employees of the Russian organization "Internet Research Agency" in 2014 "began operations to intervene in the political system of the United States, including the US presidential election in 2016". At the same time, US authorities note that these actions did not affect the outcome of the election.

Investigation of the interference attributed to Russia in the US elections is carried out by the FBI, as well as the special committees for the investigation of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Congress. In mid-May, the US Justice Department announced the appointment of former director of the FBI Robert Mueller special prosecutor for a separate independent investigation in this regard. Trump and his key assistants repeatedly rejected suspicions of any unlawful contacts with Russian officials during the election campaign. Moscow also many times refuted allegations of attempts to influence the course of presidential elections in the United States.
