In an apparent April Fools Day joke, the Russian Foreign Ministry posted a message offering interference in your next election.

"To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1," the recording begins, in Russian and English. Press 2 "to use the services of Russian hackers," and 3 "to request election interference."

President Donald Trump has called upon NBC News, and also other news organizations, to stop covering Russia's purported interference into the November 7th, 2016 US Presidential election. MSNBC and other leftist media theorize that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted revenge against Hillary Clinton, so they helped Donald Trump through sock puppet accounts on social media, and hacking of the Democratic National Committee

On Saturday, the ministry posted on its Facebook page an audio file of the purported new automated telephone switchboard message for Russian embassies. https://www.facebook.com/search/str/russian+foreign+ministry/keywords_top
