Russian President Vladimir Putin has finally had his say on the dossier leaked to the press that alleged Russia had serious dirt on Donald Trump and were to blame for the hack of the Democratic National Committee.
Speaking in a press conference, Putin called Donald Trump’s political enemies “worse than prostitutes” which sounds like something Trump himself would be likely to say on Twitter!
Putin said last week’s leak of the 35-page report was a last-ditch attempt on the part of President Obama’s outgoing administration to “undermine the legitimacy of the president-elect.”
“Prostitution is an ugly social phenomenon . . . but people who order such fakes, which are now used against the elected president of the United States, fabricate information and use it in the political struggle, they are worse than prostitutes,” Putin said. “They have no moral limits.”
He continued:
“Trump, when he came to Moscow a few years ago, was not a politician,” Putin said. “We did not even know about his political ambitions. He was just a businessman, one of the richest men in America. Is someone really thinking that our intelligence agencies are chasing every American billionaire, or what? Of course not.”
“It’s just a complete nonsense. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world.”
There have been rumours brewing for weeks that Russia was behind a series of hacks designed to undermine America’s confidence in the electoral process and Hillary Clinton.
Russia has denied all charges.
