The White House has categorically denied a report by prominent investigative journalist Seymour Hersh that the United States was behind last year’s Nord Stream sabotage, planting explosives on a gas pipeline that runs between Russia and Germany under the waters of the Baltic Sea only to blow them up. three months later.
On Wednesday, White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson called Hersh’s report, which he posted on his account on the self-publishing platform Substack, “a figment of the imagination.”
A CIA spokesman confirmed the White House rebuttal, calling the report “absolutely and completely false.”
