President of the United States Donald Trump called false data on his relations with Russia. He told about this in an interview with CBS, the text was published on Sunday, April 30. "Of course, this is a completely fictional story," he said, answering a journalist's question. At the same time, the head of state believes that his rival on the election race Hillary Clinton is more likely connected with Moscow. "There is [former Chief of Staff Clinton John] Podesta, who, as I understand it, has a company in Russia with his brother. Hillary's husband makes speeches in Russia. Hillary concluded a uranium deal with Russia. Nobody even talks about it, "said Trump. He stressed that Podesta and representatives of the Democratic Party did not allow the FBI to examine their servers, and the agency, in turn, did not complain about it. In addition, the US president said that Russia could not interfere in the elections in autumn 2016. "If you do not catch a hacker by the hand, it's very difficult to say who carried out the hacking. With that said, I will work together with Russia. It could also be China, there could be other groups, "added Trump. On April 22, CNN reported that Russia allegedly attempted to intervene in the election of the US president in 2016, "having infiltrated the campaign" of Trump through his assistants. Washington regularly accuses Moscow of interfering in the course of US elections by hacker attacks.

Relevant statements, in particular, were contained in the declassified part of the report, published in January, prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US National Security Agency. It said that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally commissioned a campaign to defame the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and win Trump's victory. Russia denies all such accusations.

The US President accused Clinton of having ties to Russia.
