Fox News host Shepard Smith said the latest indictments in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference prove the probe is not the "hoax" its critics claim.
“If there was ever any question, even a single question, there is no more,” Smith said on “Shepard Smith Reporting” on Friday. “Russia attacked the United States of America.”
“The Russians infiltrated our system, manipulated us on behalf of Vladimir Putin, and they did it online and in person, on our soil,” Smith continued.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced a slew of indictments at a press briefing Friday. Thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian groups were charged with multiple counts as part of their alleged attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.
The indictment alleges the goal of the Russians was to support then-candidate Donald Trump and hurt Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Some of the Russians allegedly posed as U.S. people and communicated with “unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities.”
