In a press conference in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the Obama administration of "undermining the legitimacy" of President-elect Donald Trump. While speaking to reporters, Putin said "What are we seeing in the U.S.? We are seeing a continuing heated political struggle, even though the elections are finished and they finished with Mr Trump’s conclusive victory." Putin added that this is to undermine Trump’s legitimacy, and that it’s being spread by false news. Putin went onto say those that spread and use false news are "worse than prostitutes," as they have "no moral boundaries."
