Allegations that Russia tried to influence the US election in favour of Donald Trump amount to a witch-hunt, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, stressing that no new evidence had been produced to show that Russian officials was involved.
"We are observing a serious fatigue with these accusations," Peskov told reporters on a conference call. "It truly is reminiscent of a witch-hunt."
Peskov, commenting on the US intelligence report, said: "You know, that version of the report that was made public added no substance whatsoever that we can comment on."
"Groundless accusations which are not supported by anything are being rehearsed in an amateurish, unprofessional way. We don't know what information they are actually relying on," Reuters cited him as saying.
The report, a redacted version of which was released publicly last week, alleged that Russian President Vladimir Putin directed a cyber campaign aimed at helping Trump beat his rival Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House.
