Trump says he told Putin to end election hacking

President Donald Trump says in an interview with CBS News that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States won’t tolerate election interference in the future.

On Wednesday, the Russian prosecutor general’s office listed Americans it wants to question for “illegal activities”, including McFaul, who was USA ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration and is now at Stanford University in California.

Republicans dodged questions on Wednesday about Trump’s Russian Federation fiasco, insisting they were satisfied by his tortured clarification, in which he claimed that he misspoke at the press conference, explaining that he meant to say that he saw no reason it would not be Russian Federation that interfered.

But Sanders said Trump was only saying “no” to further questions from reporters and not replying to the question on Russian Federation.

USA intelligence leaders only refer to the “red lights” when matters are dire.

“The president needs to understand he has damaged US foreign policy”, Representative Mike Turner, a Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN.

A video has emerged showing Melania Trump apparently looking horrified after shaking Vladimir Putin’s hand during her husband’s summit with the Russian president.

Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett, reporting from the White House, said Trump “was sticking to the script” in his comments on Tuesday – a rare occurrence.

The encounter, a key element of accusations that Russian Federation helped to elect Trump as US president, ended in failure after Veselnitskaya said she had no documents proving the money from the tax evasion had gone to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“What I find absolutely remarkable … is they’d had 27 hours to figure out, ‘How are we going to deal with this?’ And you supposedly have the best spin doctors working for the White House”, Dori said.

Republican and Democrat politicians in the USA, as well as intelligence officials, on Monday denounced Trump’s failure to challenge his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over interference in the elections, calling his responses at a joint news conference in Finland as “shameful” and “disgraceful”.

There are already a number of politicians openly raising the idea of impeaching Donald Trump. “You know the president can do more damage in 15 minutes at a press conference than we can undo in six months of passing resolutions”. “There are lots of people out there”. As Putin looked on beside him, Trump said, “I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russian Federation”.

“He just said it’s not Russian Federation”. I think it was a strong news conference.

Republican Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said congressional leaders were searching for the most effective response. “And I think that you can take the fact that the president has credibility because he saw he had misspoken and he wanted to clarify that yesterday, which he did”. Among other things, the Russians would pursue allegations that Mr. Browder channeled money into Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign: Mr. Putin cited an amount of 0 million, which the prosecutor’s office later revised to $400,000. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from SC, said he was happy to hear that Sanders had clarified Trump’s comment.
