Resolution rebuking Trump over Putin ruled out of order by House
The House rejected a resolution on Tuesday that would have rebuked President Trump for his remarks at a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The House ruled the measure, offered by House Foreign Affairs ranking member Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), was out of order.
The measure would have had the effect of endorsing Speaker Paul Ryan’s statement criticizing Trump’s remarks, in which he cast doubt on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election by saying he believed Putin’s denial.
