MOSCOW - Accusations that Russian intelligence services were seeking to hack US voting equipment as part of a broader effort to interfere in the US presidential election are false and unfounded, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.

"This assertion has absolutely nothing to do with reality," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters. "We have heard no arguments proving the veracity of this information ... Therefore we strongly deny the very possibility that this could have happened."

The US Department of Justice on Monday charged a federal contractor with sending classified material to a news organization that sources identified to Reuters as The Intercept.

The Intercept's reporting revealed new details behind the conclusion of US intelligence agencies that Russian intelligence services were seeking to infiltrate state voter registration systems, discredit Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and help then Republican candidate Donald Trump win the election.
