Russia savors Mueller's report but expects tensions to stay
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia savored an "I told you so" moment Monday after special counsel Robert Mueller found no collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow.
"Colossal efforts and significant taxpayers' funds have been spent to refute a clear fake," it (The Russian Foreign Ministry) said.
"The results of Mueller's investigation are a disgrace for the U.S. and its political elites," Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the information committee at the Federation Council, tweeted Monday. "All of the accusations were proved to be trumped up."
Russian state-owned Channel One suggested that U.S. media had been deliberately whipping up hysteria about possible collusion to turn American public opinion against Russia.
