Russia never interfered and would not interfere in the internal affairs, and especially in the electoral processes, of other countries, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday.  He also denied Russia’s involvement in a hack of  the email system of the US Democratic National Committee (DNC).
President Obama accused Russian hackers of hacking and then leaking thousands of DNC emails and said Russia could be trying to sway the vote in favor of Donald Trump.
