Kremlin Calls NBC Report Putin Directed Hack 'Laughable Nonsense'

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, accused "Western media" of being a "shill" and a "mouthpiece of various power groups."

NBC News reported Thursday night that the U.S. has information that Putin personally directed how material hacked by Russian intelligence agencies was used during the campaign.
