Russia's deputy foreign minister confirms Moscow had contact with Trump campaign team -- smh.com.au

Russian government officials had contact with members of Donald Trump's campaign team, a top Russian diplomat confirmed on Thursday – a disclosure that could reopen scrutiny over the Kremlin's role in the president-elect's bitter race against Hillary Clinton.Facing questions about his ties to Moscow because of statements interpreted as being supportive of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump repeatedly denied having any contact with the Russian government.

After the latest statement by the Russian diplomat, the spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, Hope Hicks, denied there were interactions between Russia and the Trump team before Tuesday's election. "The campaign had no contact with Russian officials," she said in an email.

But Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, in an interview with the state-run Interfax news agency, said that "there were contacts" with the Trump team."Obviously, we know most of the people from his entourage," Mr Ryabkov said. "Those people have always been in the limelight in the United States and have occupied high-ranking positions. I cannot say that we have talked with all of them but quite a few have been staying in touch with Russian representatives.

The price of US technology stocks which receive a large portion of their revenue from government defense or cyber-security programs are down sharply.
