Top Russian diplomat warns that Mueller probe hurts ties
MOSCOW (AP) — A top Russian diplomat has dismissed the U.S. probe into possible collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia as "anti-Russian hysteria" and warned that it is hurting ties between the two countries.
In February, special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russians over a plot to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The indictment said several people associated with a Russian troll farm ran a hidden social media campaign aimed in part at helping Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
