WH says Trump now ‘disagrees’ with Putin proposal to question former US ambassador
After political backlash from Republicans and well as Democrats, the White House said Thursday President Donald Trump now “disagrees” with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal that Russian investigators be allowed to question Americans, including a former U.S. ambassador to Moscow.
Putin had proposed the idea in exchange for allowing special counsel Robert Mueller’s team to go to Russia to witness interrogations of 12 Russian military officers indicted in the U.S. — what Trump then called “an incredible offer.”
