'This needs to be noticed': Former GOP strategist flags alarming Trump debate comment [View all]

by Kathleen Culliton
Published September 11, 2024 3:09 PM ET

A former Republican political strategist Wednesday urged an investigation into a less-reported remark former President Donald Trump made during a tumultuous debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trygve Olson, a senior adviser for the never-Trump conservative group Lincoln Project, raised concerns after Trump told Americans Tuesday night that he'd seen a controversial figure since leaving the White House: Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"This needs to be noticed in the post-debate coverage," Olson wrote. "Reporters must ask, 'When and where did this happen, particularly given the classified documents case?'"
