The State Department slammed Russia's 'baseless' accusation that Britain and the U.S. of conspiring to blow up the Nord Stream gas pipes, claiming former Prime Minister Liz Truss texted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken after the explosion saying 'it's done.'
'Russia’s baseless accusations against the United Kingdom, and before that the United States, are just another attempt to distract from their brutal war against Ukraine,' State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
'These ridiculous claims have no factual basis. Russia has a long history of spreading disinformation and it is doing so again here.'
Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that Kremlin intelligence agents are in possession of data indicating British military specialists 'were directing and coordinating the attack' that destroyed two gas lines running from Russia to Germany in September.
Peskov has not released any evidence to back up the claim.
The claim comes after Kim Dotcom, who ran website Megaupload before he was convicted of fraud, began circulating the conspiracy that Truss had texted Blinken 'it's done' after the attack.
He claims the information came from Truss's iCloud after Russia hacked her phone while she was foreign secretary.
Russia's claims appear inconsistent with what is known about Truss's phone hack, which was first reported by the UK Mail on Sunday.
According to the paper, the hack was discovered 'over the summer' while Truss was still foreign secretary and in the running to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.
The pipe blast did not occur until September 26, more than two weeks after the contest concluded with Truss declared the victor.
While the public did not learn about the hack until recently, the Mail on Sunday reports those in government did know about it and decided to hush it up.

to be fair, who is right to trust ?
Kim Dotcom appears more trustworthy than most mainstream journalists.
When something is too convenient, it is probably fake news propaganda.
Conveniently, this allows Labor to blame the Conservatives for high energy prices, when it was Labor policies that caused it.
Any time questionable convenient news benefits liberals, it is a double red flag and you KNOW it is fake news propaganda.
Note that they ignore that the Russian government is making these claims and because Kimdotcom has revealed it labeled it another conspiracy theory.
Just for the record, just because it is a conspiracy theory doesn’t make the claim false or even more likely to be false. Three letter agencies teaming up with social media to alter our cognative infrastructure would seem to be the mother of all conspiracy theories and yet, SHAZAM, golly jeewillikers, it turns out to be - would you believe it - actually true.
Circle back on it’s done
The actual article title is:
US slams Russia's 'ridiculous' claims with 'no factual basis' that British PM Liz Truss sent a text to Antony Blinken saying 'it's done' after the Nord Stream pipeline explosion
“It is done” could mean a bunch of different things.
Exactly. He just ignored the actual title of the article in favor of making up one of his own. A complete misrepresentation of the content.
‘These ridiculous claims have no factual basis. Russia has a long history of spreading disinformation and it is doing so again here.’
Sounds just like Donald trump’s unproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Hillary ClintonIdiot’s unsecured Blackberry phone and home server she used as SoS just rolled over in their graves after being hammered to death...........
