Russia denies claims of its alleged US election interference
Moscow called US intelligence agency's claims of Russian interference 'malicious slander'.
Moscow has denied US Intelligence agency's reports that Russia was behind videos intending to diminish faith in the presidential election, The Moscow Times reported Tuesday.
"We have noticed the statement of the US intelligence services accusing our country of disseminating fabricated videos about electoral violations in the United States. We view these allegations as baseless," the Russian embassy in the United States said in a statement on Telegram.
One of the videos widely circulated on social media showed a Haitian immigrant claiming to have voted several times in Georgia. In the video, he claims in a notably robotic voice: "We are from Haiti. We came to America six months ago and already have our American citizenship – we're voting Kamala Harris."
The FBI, CISA, and the Director of National Intelligence agencies called the video part of "Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans."
Moscow claims US has no proof of its alleged interference
The embassy said that Russia had not received "any proof for these claims during its communications with US officials," as reported by The Moscow Times.
"As President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed, we respect the will of the American people," the statement continued. "All insinuations about 'Russian machinations' are malicious slander."
