Lavrov noted that what “frenzy” is currently “trying to accuse the US administration of clandestine ties with Russia, how they are trying to look for reasons to begin the process of impeachment to Donald Trump”, indicates that, despite the negative conclusions made by the commission of the former special prosecutor Robert Muller, "the Democrats did not refuse to play the Russian card, now entering these days on the next election campaign, preparing for the presidential election in 2020."
“This is sad and regrettable,” the Russian foreign minister said.
In late July, US Rep. Eliot Engel called on the House to launch an investigation to impeach Trump.
According to the politician, Mueller’s testimony provided evidence that “the president obstructed the administration of justice.”
