In the US, called for the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions for "interference" in the election

This was reported by the Axios portal, citing sources.

"Democratic leaders in the Senate will send US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Finance Minister Stephen Mnuchin Monday afternoon demanding sanctions against Russia - and potentially Russian President Vladimir Putin himself - for trying to influence the 2020 presidential election," the statement said.

Earlier, the White House’s deputy spokeswoman, Hogan Gidley, said information about Russia's “interference” in the US election was another example of a witch hunt.

In turn, the Russian embassy in the United States expressed concern about unfounded accusations of the so-called "Russian interference" in the elections in the United States.
