Moscow hopes that anti-Russian “hysteria” in Washington will come to an end, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the CNN broadcaster in an interview aired on Sunday.
WASHINGTON, (Sputnik) — Earlier in March, Senator Richard Blumenthal said that appointing a special prosecutor for the probe into alleged Russian interference in the US election and ties to the President Donald Trump campaign was critical for the integrity of the Justice Department.
According to a recent CNN/ORC poll, 65 percent of the respondents (82 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Republicans) support the idea of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate these issues.
“Yes, we do worry… If you load the public opinion with a huge burden of fake news, of these fake blamings on Russia, if you repeat every day numerous times that Russia is guilty of everything, Russia is interfering, Russia is trying to hack everything in our country and everything that goes wrong in our country is because of Russia, if you repeat it… than you will have more than 65 percent. So, we consider it a real danger for the future of our bilateral relationship. We sincerely want to see this hysteria coming to its logic end,” Peskov said.
