Reuters: Kremlin dismisses report of Trump campaign contacts with Russian spies

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia dismissed on Wednesday as groundless a U.S. media report that said members of Donald Trump's presidential campaign had contacts with Russian intelligence officials.

The report, from the New York Times, has boosted concerns about Russia's role in influencing the outcome of the United States' election. U.S. intelligence agencies have already accused Russia of being behind the hacking of Democratic Party emails in order to help Trump, a Republican, to win.

U.S-Russia relations are under particular scrutiny following the inauguration of Trump, who pledged in his campaign to improve ties with the Kremlin after they deteriorated to their worst level since the Cold War under the Obama administration.

WNU Editor: Who knows what Russian intelligence has done .... or is doing. But I sense a growing frustration (at least from what I am reading/hearing/and seeing from Russia) that the Kremlin is growing frustrated (and angry) with all of this coverage .... and their denials are getting very loud.

It's gotten to the stage that if your caught having a conversation with a Russian official, and you hold American citizenship, your then labelled as a SPY!
