Maria Zakharova commented on the unexpected initiative of US Democratic Senators.
The issue is about checking Elon Musk's contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed criticism on her Telegram channel.
Zakharova suggested that senators focus on more useful things.
She recalled that the assassination of John Kennedy remains unsolved for more than half a century. The diplomat also pointed to other events related to the politician's family.
The diplomat believes that the American authorities could focus on corrupt ties within the government.
Zakharova emphasized that senators would like to pay attention to criminal financing schemes in which senior executives may be involved.
The reason for Zakharova’s harsh comments was the senators’ appeal to the Pentagon and the US Department of Justice.
They proposed investigating Musk's alleged contacts with Russian authorities.
Zakharova emphasized that senators are distracted by external issues instead of resolving internal issues.
The Russian diplomat called the actions of American officials an attempt to evade responsibility.
