Moscow - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday defended Donald Trump over accusations the US leader pressured Kiev to dig up dirt on a rival, saying there was"nothing compromising" in transcripts of the call.
"President Trump turned to a colleague with a request to investigate possible corruption relating to members of the former administration," the Russian leader said at an energy forum in Moscow."They have already been using any excuse to attack President Trump. Now it's Ukraine," Putin added. "He didn't find any evidence of us colluding with Trump in the past, but said there was a risk we might do so in the future... It would be funny if it weren't so sad," said Putin.
The White House last week released a transcript of a call this summer between Trump and a recently elected Zelensky.
