Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the idea that Moscow had damning information he could use to blackmail President Trump was "a load of nonsense," in an interview that aired Sunday night.
"I never met with him. We have a lot of Americans who visit us," Putin said on NBC's "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly." He added: "Do you think we're gathering compromising information on all of them right now or something? Are you all -- have you all lost your senses over there?"
U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded Russia meddled in the presidential election to hurt candidate Hillary Clinton's chances. Lawmakers and opponents of the president have asked Trump repeatedly about any business dealings with Russia -- he says he has none -- as well as reports of a Russian dossier of damaging personal information.
"Well, this is just another load of nonsense," Putin said. "Where would we get this information from? Why, did we have some special relationship with him? We didn't have any relationship at all."

That proves it.
Trump has Megyn Kelly go to Moscow to talk to Putin!
The Russian connection!
ha, oops, St. Petersburg, not Moscow
Putin is certainly more credible than the Washington Post or the New York Times. Which does not mean that I trust him.
I have yet to hear anyone report on how it was exactly that the Russians interfered with the election. I’ve heard that said and reported ad nauseam the past 6 months but no details on what the Russians did exactly. Can someone provide links to help me understand, catch up. Thanks.
Putin is certainly no friend to this country, but at this point his word can be taken over the MSM’s. If there’s anyone he has the goods on it’s Hillary. I thank God every single day that Hillary Clinton is not in the Oval Office. There are so many world leaders who could be blackmailing her right now and have her and this nation at their mercy. One of those no doubt being Putin.
Putins an interesting study....although I did boo-cotted NBC’s Kelly’s interview.....I heard enough when she and Putin were at the Economic forum...she made a fool of herself and he pretty much moped the floor with her. Instead of simply asking questions she made political points..and her usual twisting questions . It didn’t work....she was over her head with Putin.
Trump is right when he said Putin is a leader .... regardless of how one chooses to view the man he is a statesman and it shows time and again..and this without a teleprompter ....he doesn’t need one as what he speaks is what he genuinely believes is right. So he’s very fluent and doesn’t hesitate responding. He knows what he knows regardless if others see it his way or not. Oddly enough he’s often right.
From what I understand Russia supposedly hacked DNC etc. emails and gave them to Wikileaks to release in order to turn the voters against Hillary and get Trump elected and Trump participated in this. I think that’s their story.
But they’re not thinking that the emails were the truth that the DNC and Hillary didn’t want us to know. The left is calling revealing the truth about what they were up to was “meddling” and Trump should be in trouble for benefiting from it. Nevertheless no rat admits to having evidence that Trump was involved and they admit that no votes were changed by Russia.
Meanwhile, Assange from Wikileaks has said it wasn’t the Russians and there is suspicion that it was DNC employee Seth Rich, who was a pissed off Sanders supporter who didn’t like what the DNC was doing to Sanders, who sent the info to Wikileaks and ended up dead for doing so. Hannity’s reporting of Seth Rich’s murder mystery almost got him fired and did shut him up at least for now.
There is also the prospect that our CIA can make anything look like it came from anywhere and maybe they released the data and purposely made it look like the Russians did it to benefit Trump - thus hoping that Trump would be in big trouble for this. I’d have to say this seemed far fetched.
Who knows? Maybe we’ll find out one of these days.
Does he have “damaging” info on Obama? That’s the 60 thousand dollar question.
They can’t supply more than assumptions.....there are no details. But the accusation is Putin interfered in our election by using hackers and supporting Trump during his campaign. To date they have been unable to prove this.
But to be real...every nation attempts to ‘influence’ other nations elections. Heck Obama was interferring in Fran’s election.....and our Gov. officials showed up all over the MEast during the Arab Spring...as well as in Ukraine...Egypt and a host of others.....
But what the Deorats are trying to do is prove Trump was in kahoots with Putin during his campaign.......that would be impeachment material....they got nothing.
Instead they should be looking at Waltzerman and Hillary for depriving Bernie of the election.....that’s a fact and proff of is abundant.
I feel the same way...
Hey Megyn Kelly, you should learn how to do interviews. Dummy Kelly's questions were convoluted and revealed her obsession with Trump. I was not impressed. V. Putin made her look foolish.
What sort of damning information did Megyn have in mind? Sexual conduct with multiple women in The Oval Office? Ties to mooselimb groups? Selling Uranium to Russia in exchange for donations to charitable organizations?
Putin should say, “ Hell yes I helped him, can you imagine have that lunatic Clinton as president”.
Megyn Kelly suggested they hacked the election. Puty poot made her look like an idiot to explain that an IP address can be made to look like it came from even her (Me Again Kelly) or her 3 year old daughter.
His statements to Kelly sounded reasonable. He said what I already believed was probably true.
I find him an interesting guy. Dangerous, but interesting.
“have you all lost your senses over there?”
No doubt the deranged left has. Or... They really haven’t but are making up this crap to get Trump.
Her talents lie in another direction. For example, she is superb at shooting herself in the foot.
