moment because i think it s very clear that donald trump, even private citizen donald trump, would not have been in moscow without russian authorities knowing about that. it s clearly nobody prominent in america goes to moscow without them knowing. of course. and most importantly, vladimir putin never tells the truth. he s a bald-faced liar. he lies at every opportunity. remember, he said there were no russian troops in crimea and then they were. he said there was no russian rocket that shot down mh-17. he said there was no cheating in the sochi olympics. and so you can t believe a word that comes out of vladimir putin s mouth. it s not even worth analyzing his lies because he s such a consistent and continuous liar. bill, good to talk to you. bill browder is the author of red notice, true story of high finance, murder and one man s fight for justice. up next, the role of the economy of russia played in today s trump/putin summit.
