Russian President Denies Meddling in U.S. Election
--------------------------------------------------

Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed in on claims that he's
meddling in the U.S. election. Putin made the remarks Thursday in
southern Russia.

President Vladimir Putin: "Does anyone seriously think that Russia can
in some way influence the choice of the American people? Is America some
kind of banana republic? America is a great country, correct me if I am
wrong."

Hillary Clinton has accused rival Donald Trump of being a "puppet" of
Putin. She also says Russia is behind the theft of campaign emails made
public through Wiki Leaks.
