To cancel his summit in helsinki with Vladimir Putin on monday in the face of this, new charges brought by the Department Of Justice. Whats your take on this . I agree, he never should have taken the meeting to begin with. I mean we have no idea what he would hope to gain from this. What we know quite clearly, these were not lowlevel operatives, ali, who were indicted. These are highlevel people who worked very closely with the Senior Leadership in russia. We know putin knew this. Donald trump is only enabling Vladimir Putin by coming to this meeting, by participating in this meeting. If he does do it, and, you know, it wouldnt surprise me if he did, what he ought to do is hand him over these indictments, demand the immediate prompt extradition of all the defendants involved, and thats what he should be doing. He is playing into the hands of putin right now. The world is turned upside down,
as your prior person said. Yeah. Putin wants to destabilize nato, he wants to sow discord among
as your prior person said. yeah. putin wants to destabilize nato, he wants to sow discord among our allies, he wants to sow discord at home. with trump trashing nato, atracking germany, attacking our uk allies, this president is playing into putin s hands. he s not only undermining our democracy, he s making america less safe. i have to ask you, i m kind of amazed by the response from the white house quite quickly after this came out. obviously the president knew about this so they might have had a response ready. today s charges include no allegations of knowing involvement pie anyone on the campaign and no allegations that the alleged hacking affected the election result. tom, does it strike you as strange that in the face of 12 indictments that the white house s response is, well, it wasn t us. well, it s long since time for donald trump to stop calling this a witch hunt.
