Moscow rejects claims Trump in bed with its spies

MOSCOW slammed new reports yesterday alleging that US President Donald Trump’s campaign team had a number of contacts with Russian spies, with the Kremlin’s spokesman describing the claims as “laughable.”

The New York Times reported the allegations yesterday which cite anonymous US government officials saying that members of Mr Trump’s team communicated with Russian intelligence agents during the presidential campaign.

That echoed unsubstantiated claims by the outgoing Obama government that Russia had used computer hackers to influence the outcome of November’s election.
