Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Sunday criticized President Trump's handling of a closely watched summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying the U.S. leader "missed a good opportunity" to stand up to Moscow.
"The president missed, I think, a really good opportunity to distinguish the United States from any other country, but especially from Russia," Gowdy said on "Fox News Sunday."
Gowdy, the chairman of the powerful House Oversight Committee, said that Trump needed to listen to his advisers and intelligence officials, who have repeatedly warned that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election. If not, Gowdy said, those advisers would need to think twice about whether they can effectively serve in Trump's administration.
"The president either needs to rely on the people he has chosen to advise him or those advisers need to reevaluate whether or not they can serve in this administration, but the disconnect cannot continue," Gowdy said.

The South Carolina Republican chastised Trump for inviting Putin to Washington this fall.

House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy chastised Donald Trump for inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to Washington, saying Sunday that some members of the president's administration should consider quitting if Trump won't listen to their advice.
“The fact that we have to talk to you about Syria or other matters is very different from issuing an invitation,” Gowdy said on “Fox News Sunday” of the Putin invitation, which the White House confirmed last week would be extended for the fall. “Those should be reserved for, I think, our allies.” The South Carolina Republican suggested that some members of the administration may need to consider leaving if Trump continues to disregard their advice to stand firm against Russia.
That concern has dominated discourse in Washington since Trump’s summit with Putin in Helsinki last week, at which he spoke more harshly of the FBI than of Russia.
“It can be proven beyond any evidentiary burden that Russia is not our friend and they tried to attack us in 2016,” Gowdy told host Bret Baier. “So the president either needs to rely on the people that he has chosen to advise him, or those advisers need to reevaluate whether or not they can serve in this administration. But the disconnect cannot continue.”

Just like YOU Gowdy are "missing a good opportunity" to actually do some damn OVERSIGHT. The Democrats on that committee have give you a list of things that need hearings and you have ignored each and every one - from the immigrant child separation fiasco, to the EPA FOI mess, to the past and current misuse of public funds by former or current heads of multiple agencies including HHS, EPA, DOI, TREAS & HUD.
Looking at YOU Trey Gowdy! What have you got to lose?
