The US continues to assert about Russian interference in the election of the President of America. Hiding behind this unsubstantiated accusation, Washington plans to introduce new sanctions. This time, businessmen will be hit. Sources in the administration of the White House said that at least six oligarchs will take restrictive measures, but nothing is known about their names and status, writes The Washington Post. At the same time, two of them have already been interrogated by a special team of special prosecutor Robert Mueller. It is noted that they financed the company of Donald Trump. The oligarchs seized electronic devices and asked several questions.

This was reported to CNN.

In March, Washington introduced into the sanctions list 19 Russian citizens and 5 legal entities. The reason was allegedly Moscow's interference in the elections in the US in November 2016.

The list included businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, as well as the FSB, the GRU and its leadership.

All the assets of the defendants in the territory of the United States have frozen, and American citizens are forbidden to conduct any business with them. At the same time, the Kremlin has repeatedly denied all the allegations, calling them unfounded.
