Putin spokesman dismisses theory Russians hacked into White House

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov scoffed at a CNN report that claimed Russian hackers may have breached the White House’s computer system and accessed sensitive information pertaining to U.S. President Barack Obama, the RIA Novosti news agency reported Wednesday.

“We know that blaming Russia for everything has turned into a sport,” Peskov told journalists when asked about the allegations, RIA reported. “At least they haven’t looked for Russian submarines in [Washington’s] Potomac River, as has been the case in a few other countries.”
