Kremlin says Mueller probe not Russia’s problem after Sessions sacked

MOSCOW, Nov 8, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The Kremlin said on Thursday that the Washington investigation into alleged interference by Moscow in the 2016 US election was not Russia’s problem after President Donald Trump sacked Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“This investigation is a headache for our American colleagues, it has nothing to do with us,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists when asked if Session’s firing would influence the probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
