Not normal.

During the first White House press briefing in more than two weeks, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders didn’t rule out the possibility that President Trump will allow the Putin regime to question U.S. citizens — including a former American ambassador — whom Putin has accused of being involved in crimes.
“Russian authorities yesterday named several Americans who they want to question whom they claim were involved in Bill Browder’s quote unquote crimes, in their terms, including former ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul,” Maggie Haberman of the New York Times began during Wednesday’s briefing. “Does President Trump support that idea? Is he open to having U.S. officials questioned by Russia?”
Sanders demurred.
“The president’s gonna meet with his team and we’ll let you know when we have an announcement on that,” she said.
Haberman followed up, asking whether allowing Russia to interrogate Americans was “a topic that came up” during Trump’s secret meeting in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week.
Sanders confirmed it was.
