Adam Schiff: 'Last thing' Trump needs 'is Putin vouching for him'By David Wright, CNN Updated 1434 GMT (2234 HKT) May 17, 2017
Washington (CNN)The top Democrat on the House intelligence committee said Wednesday that "the last thing (President Donald Trump) probably needs right now is for Vladimir Putin to be vouching for him," after the Russian president denied that his US counterpart had disclosed classified information to Russian officials.
Putin denied reports Wednesday that the President had shared highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in an Oval Office meeting last week. He said during a news conference that "we are prepared to go there and explain our point of view to Congress if necessary."
Speaking on CNN's "New Day," Rep. Adam Schiff called Putin's offer "yet another twist in the road" and said "all of this gets more baffling every day."

(28,270 posts)Trump is weakening the Western alliance which suits Dictator Putin just fine!
Trump probably got some poor Israeli Mossad agent killed/tortured to death by ISIS with his loose lips, which ally will pay the price next for Trump's incompetence?
