‘Mountain brought forth a mouse’: Putin says outcome of Mueller report was predictable
“We said from the very beginning that this Mueller commission will find nothing because we know it better than anyone: Russia did not meddle in any US election, there was no collusion between [US President Donald] Trump and Russia that Mr. Mueller was looking for,” Putin told the International Arctic Forum on Tuesday.
Taking a lighter tone, the president said that the outcome was predictable, likening it to “a mountain that has brought forth a mouse.”
