WASHINGTON, Jun 5 (Reuters) Russian President Vladimir Putin strongly denied he had any compromising material about US President Donald Trump in a televised interview broadcast today.
“Well, this is just another load of nonsense,” Putin said on NBC News’ “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly,” when asked whether he had any damaging information on the Republican president.
The remarks were the latest in a series of denials from Moscow that have had little impact so far on a political crisis in the United States over potential links between Russia and Trump’s inner circle.
Putin also told NBC he had no relationship with Trump, despite Trump’s previous travel to Russia as a businessman.
Putin noted that executives from perhaps 100 American companies were currently in Russia.
