Trump Calls Out Senators Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer On Twitter Over Russians

The battleground is Twitter.

Trump demanded an investigation of the House minority leader.

“The bottom line is we have an obligation to get to the truth”.

Accusations of ties to Russian intelligence agents have dogged Mr. Trump since the campaign, despite no evidence presented that implicates the president or his team in Russian interference with the USA presidential election.

Chuck Schumer should come under the microscope, Trump used a photo of the Pelosi appearing with Russian President Vladimir Putin to insinuate shady behavior on the parts of Democrats.

President Trump used the microblogging platform to slam Senator Chuck Schumer for his alleged ties to Putin and Russian Federation, going as far as to call the Democrat from NY a “total hypocrite”.

Early Friday afternoon, Trump – whose campaign and new administration have been dogged by reports of their ties to Moscow – tweeted a yearsold picture of Schumer and Russian President Vladimir Putin laughing, drinking coffee and eating doughnuts.

“We’ve never had a president that’s shared so much of themselves, not just what they’re saying, but their psychological tics in such an overt manner”, P.W. Singer, a defense expert told Politico. The Senate minority leader asked if Trump and his team would do the same.

Sessions has denied doing anything improper but conceded he should have told the Senate panel about the meeting with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

The scandal now embroiling Sessions, on the other hand ― which forced the fledgling attorney general to recuse himself from any future investigations into Trump and Russian Federation ― is not that he simply met with Kislyak.

Recent Russian actions have created new complications, including a stepped-up offensive by pro-Russian separatist forces in eastern Ukraine and what the Pentagon described as the bombing this week by Russian and Syrian aircraft of US -backed Syrian rebels – something Moscow denied had happened. “She owes an explanation for why she knowingly misled the American public”, Jesse Hunt, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement. Sessions is the second senior figure in Trump’s administration to face trouble due to shady Russian ties – his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned less than a month in office after similar revelations.

Kislyak is now at the center of allegations he met with Trump advisers, including U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, during the presidential campaign.
