Dems paint Trump as Russia’s pawn

Democrats are taking aim at Donald Trump’s perceived ties to Russia.
On the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton’s camp is painting the Republican nominee as the “pro-Kremlin” candidate.
Clinton on Monday said the investigation into Russian involvement in the hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) “raises further questions about Trump,” who “very early on allied himself with” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s policies.
Her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), last week challenged Trump on his foreign business ties and accused him of “[encouraging] Russia to get in here and screw around with our elections.”
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, lawmakers are urging the FBI to open investigations into Trump’s role in the attack on the DNC. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) cited “evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.”
