Russia dismisses US election meddling indictment over lack of evidence

The Kremlin has dismissed a US indictment which charged 13 Russians with interfering in the 2016 American presidential election over a lack of evidence.
The indictment by a federal grand jury alleges that a wealthy entrepreneur with close ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin funnelled money to a so-called "troll farm", which sent operatives to the United States, created fictitious social media accounts and used them to spread tendentious messages.
