US President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has “probably” been involved in assassinations and poisonings, The Washington Post reported.

“I wouldn’t make the assessment that Trump allowed that possibility and so on, as we’re reading in many media reports,” Dmitry Peskov said, according to Latvian-based news outlet Meduza.

“Here you’ve got to be very flexible with how you read the linguistic properties. It’s clear that there couldn’t have been a different answer,” the Kremlin spokesman said, adding that there was no credible proof implicating Putin in the Skripal case.
