The Kremlin Doesn’t Feel Guilty About Manafort Indictment, Says Putin’s Spokesman

</p> <p>Russia has nothing to do with the sweeping investigations into election meddling in the U.S., Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.<br /> </p> <p>On Monday, U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/us/politics/paul-manafort-indicted.html?_r=0" rel="noopener"> released</a> three indictments in an ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election that saw Donald Trump elected president. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort and his former business associate Rick Gates were charged with failing to disclose overseas payments from the pro-Kremlin Ukrainian Party of Regions and conspiring to launder money. </p> <p>George Papadopoulous, a former foreign policy advisor, was also indicted after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about contact with Russian officials.</p><div class="nwjqf6622593c23625" > <div id="yandex_rtb_R-A-749142-1"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(w, d, n, s, t) { w[n] = w[n] || [];
