Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists that Moscow has no intention of interfering in Tuesday's U.S. presidential elections.
"We have neither the right nor the intention of interfering in the U.S. election process," Peskov said on Monday. "There are many problems even without our interference."
Peskov also denied that the Russian government had been engaged in an attempt to influence the election by way of an "information campaign" supporting one candidate over another. He called such allegations "absurd."
