US President Donald Trump denounced the ongoing controversy about his election campaign linked to Russia, calling it a "total scam".Congress and the FBI are conducting investigations about whether a direct connection existed between campaign officials and Kremlin operatives, amid Trump’s insistence about no such contact. 
"It is the same Fake News Media that said there is ‘no path to victory for Trump’ that is now pushing the phony Russia story," Trump tweeted. "A total scam!".The US intelligence community has already concluded that Russia meddled in the 2016 White House race, in which Trump upset Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. However, there has been no clear evidence that Russian operatives and Trump campaign officials colluded to defeat Clinton.
