The Kremlin dismissed as absurd on Tuesday allegations it was behind the hacking of U.S. Democratic Party emails, saying unidentified individuals were trying to cynically exploit fear of Russia for electoral purposes.It responded after cyber security experts and U.S. officials said there was evidence Russia had engineered the release of sensitive Democratic Party emails in order to influence the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election.The emails, released by activist group WikiLeaks at the weekend, appeared to show favoritism within the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for Hillary Clinton and prompted the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.President Vladimir Putin has tried to avoid giving the impression he favors any U.S. candidate, but has hailed Republican Party nominee Donald Trump as being ”very talented”.
