Russian Officials: We Had Contact With Trump Campaign

That’s pretty much all you need to take with you into the following segment on Last Week Tonight, where John Oliver explained exactly what’s wrong with Putin, complete with a catchy techno song for Trump.

The original version of the article, posted on a website called Angry Patriot, has 38,000 shares. “I don’t think anybody is going to question my willingness to be outspoken”. FBI Director James Comey, meanwhile, had decided against disclosing the bureau’s own pre-election investigation of possible links between Russian Federation and the Trump campaign.

Russian television channel NTV reports what psychologists say about Trump.

Meanwhile, Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak had confirmed that he had communicated with former national security adviser Michael Flynn during Trump’s presidential campaign.

Trump has nearly vanished from Russian television screens since he fired his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, last week over his contacts with Russia, the Financial Times writes. When Flynn made the call, it’s unclear whether or not he identified himself.

President Trump later said he asked for Flynn’s resignation because Flynn had misled Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump often spoke positively of Putin during the campaign trail and spoke of his hopes of improving relations between their countries. The US president has repeatedly denied having contact with Russian intelligence officials during the election campaign. The New York Times reported there was no evidence of cooperation between the campaign and Russian Federation to influence the election.

USA intelligence agencies concluded that Russian Federation conducted a covert hacking operation to undermine the U.S. election process, which evolved into an attempt to help Trump win the White House. “To the best of my knowledge, no person that I deal with does”.

They should also investigate the president’s role in it if he had one.

Yatom did not necessarily buy into all of the various theories about Trump and Russian Federation, but he said some of the allegations at the very least required investigation from an internal United States perspective, as if some of the allegations were true it would be “a nightmare scenario”. By engaging in a cover-up and allowing Flynn to keep his position as National Security Advisor, Trump placed the security of our country at risk, and the only way to force his hand was to leak this information to the press. An analysis by RBC, a respected business-news agency, found that mentions of Mr Trump on key Sunday news and analytical programmes fell by 88% in the two weeks from February 5th to February 19th (see chart). (U.S. officials told me a call took place December 29.) Hours after the expulsion was announced, Trump issued a bland statement: “It’s time for our country to move onto bigger and better things”.
