“We regret that a document of this quality is having a direct impact on the development of bilateral Russian-U.S. relations that are already not in the best condition,” Peskov added, according to Reuters.

The chairman of Russia’s information committee, Alexei Pushkov, reportedly mocked the probe in the upper chamber of the Russian Parliament on Friday.

Pushkov hit the Justice Department’s investigation for spending millions of taxpayers’ money without proving collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to AP.

The Justice Department on Thursday released the redacted version of Mueller's report looking at Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The report was definitive in Mueller’s conclusion that no Americans or anyone from the Trump campaign conspired with Moscow during the campaign, but said Trump staffers expected to benefit from Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential race against Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonDemocratic groups using Bloomberg money to launch M in Spanish language ads in Florida The Hill's Campaign Report: Presidential polls tighten weeks out from Election Day More than 50 Latino faith leaders endorse Biden MORE.

“Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” Mueller wrote.

Outreach from Russian officials to individuals associated with the Trump campaign were noted in the report, including “business connections, offers of assistance to the Campaign, invitations for candidate Trump and Putin to meet in person, invitations for Campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government to meet, and policy positions seeking improved U.S.-Russian relations.”

The special counsel, however, found that no action by any Trump campaign official rose to the level of conspiracy as defined by federal law.
