Trump calls for investigation into Senator Schumer’s Russian ties

But before she did, Sanders said Sessions’ meeting with Kislayak in his Senate office was in an “official capacity”, but “not as a campaign official”.

It could be one of the toughest jobs in the administration.

“I’m not sure if recusal is sufficient”, Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said in a statement.

Both Pelosi and Schumer had called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign after it was revealed he met twice with Kislyak in 2016, despite telling lawmakers at his confirmation hearing he had no “communications” with Russian officials.

Donald Trump clearly doesn’t understand the difference between diplomacy and collusion with an adversarial power.

Dr Hill has made no secret of her view of Mr Putin and his background as Russia’s top spy.

Putin was in the country at that time to visit with President George W. Bush at Camp David.

Schumer added on Twitter that the doughnuts in question were Krispy Kreme.

That was Donald Trump’s advice to the American people on Friday as he sought to fight back against a fresh avalanche of allegations about his ties to Russian Federation. Trump has denied that members of his staff were in contact with the Russians during the campaign. Its unverified contents also claimed Moscow’s spies believe they have compromising information on the new president that they could use to blackmail him.

Trump responded by demanding a second investigation, of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) for “her close ties to Russian Federation, and lying about it”. According to a press release dated September 27, 2003, the two presidents also talked about strengthening commercial and economic relations and cooperation “in the battle against HIV/AIDS”.

With half of Congress demanding an impartial investigation into President Donald Trump, his associates and Russian Federation for colluding in all the hacking that occurred in the election, the commander-in-chief is pointing his finger at House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “They have let everyone suspect there is a cover-up here”.

Of course, there is a difference between a senator publicly meeting with a world leader and the multiple Russian Federation scandals that Trump is facing.

In what may have been a fourth FBI inquiry related to Russian Federation and Trump, the bureau investigated a series of conversations that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had with Kislyak but did not disclose to Vice President Mike Pence, leading to Flynn’s resignation on February 14.

“Look, this scandal – and it is a scandal – could bring down the administration, if the administration doesn’t get ahead of it”, he said.
