GENEVA (AP) — Diplomats tell The Associated Press that Russia's government lodged a formal complaint last month with the United Nations over a top U.N. official's condemnations of Donald Trump and some European politicians.
The intervention underscores the unusual links between the Kremlin and the Republican presidential nominee.
There is no evidence Trump sought Russia's assistance, or was even aware of the criticism by Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights.
But three diplomats say the criticism prompted Vitaly Churkin, Russia's U.N. ambassador, to issue a verbal "demarche" to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a private meeting on Sept. 13.
The diplomats weren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter and demanded anonymity, fearing possible diplomatic repercussions from Russia, a powerful, permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.

Gee, and while they are celebrating Huma and Hillary’s 20th anniversary, lol.
Should keep the heat away from Hillary this news cycle.
Our friends don't TRUST us and our enemies don't FEAR us.
You’re not helping, Russia.
Exactly how has Trump mistreated or did ANYTHING that would warrant anyone associated with U.N. Human Rights to make a condemnation?!?
This is the STUPIDITY that oozes throughout the walls of the U.N.!! If someone wanted to blow that building off the map, I would encourage them!!!
Waste of space, time, effort, and energy...the whole damn thing!!!
...and NOBODY RESPECTS US!................way to go OBOZO.............
notice how the story fails to name the “other European politicians” who were criticized?? either a fake story or potentially allies of clinton...
No, but I do see why the Russians prefer Trump. Russia wins the Syrian Civil War with a Trump Presidency.
My thanks to Putin for elevating this UN obscenity into the public view, now I hope he completes the job and hacks Trump into the presidency. If the Ds can stuff the ballot box with impunity, the Russians should be afforded equal access to our election process.

Oh please.
The Rockefellers donated the land it squats on.
That ought to tell you something.............
no kidding....remember that Asian country had Obama come out the BACK DOOR of Air Force 1...without the red carpet they rolled out for EVERYONE ELSE!! HOW EMBARRASSING!
“... the unusual links between the Kremlin and the Republican presidential nominee...”
What “unusual links”????
The UN had no basis to criticize Trump as they did, it was a blatant attempt to interfere in the election.
Russia wants Hillary to win
So they are going to publically support Trump
Putin is not stupid, he knows how to play this game
But I think this is a Russian Crazy Ivan Move.
Trump = Strong America.
Which Means Russia can do what they like, so they will try and stop Trump form being elected by subtly trying to undermined him by denying he is in league with them, which gives Clinton Ammunition to say he is.
Why should they? They probably want 8 more years of feckless American leadership. Remember, we're more "flexible" now.
The MSM knows about this because the Clinton campaign is busy manufacturing this myth about “Russian interference in the US Elections” since it gives the MSM an excuse to talk about something other then the daily evidence of Clinton;s corruption and incompetence
