President Donald Trump reportedly spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about a kind of “swap” of suspects that each country takes issue with. That means that a former American ambassador is being summoned to Russia by Putin to be interrogated. Trump told Putin in their two-hour meeting that he’d consider it.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, a former White House communications staffer for George W. Bush, was floored by the idea.
“What?!” she exclaimed. “The fact that the answer to that question was an immediate instant and emphatic no from the Trump administration — but it is not normal. The White House press secretary saying she’ll let us know if the president decides he’s going to allow Vladimir Putin and Russia to question an American citizen.”
Former Ambassador Michael McFoul has been an outspoken critic of Putin in wake of his service during President Barack Obama’s administration. The questioning, Putin mentioned, is about a conspiracy theory about money laundering in the Clinton campaign that was drummed up by Trump allies.
