President Donald Trump's national security advisor said Wednesday that the next bilateral meeting between Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin should happen "after the Russia witch hunt is over."
The President believes that the next bilateral meeting with President Putin should take place after the Russia witch hunt is over, so weve agreed that it will be after the first of the year, John Bolton told reporters Wednesday.
The White House had earlier said that Trump would meet with Putin at the White House in the fall. The plan drew condemnation from lawmakers. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., said he would not invite Putin to speak before Congress during the planned Washington visit.

(14,173 posts)I always thought he was coached to make sure he claimed that the witch hunt was on him. That Russia (and many many others) did interfere to some degree, but he had nothing to do with it, even if he gained from it.
Now he's moved on to saying Russia itself is under a witch hunt.
