George W. Bush's accusation that aid money from the International Monetary Fund lined the pockets of a former Russian prime minister was denied today by the monetary fund and the former Russian official, raising questions about Mr. Bush's pointed charge in Wednesday's otherwise cordial discussion of foreign policy issues.
The comments about misused aid reflect growing skepticism among many Congressional Republicans about the role of the I.M.F., which some critics have accused of wasting billions and supporting corrupt governments.
