Top Intel Dem: No one-on-one Trump meeting with Putin
By Jordain Carney - 07/13/18 02:04 PM EDT
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on Friday that President Trump should not meet one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"There should be no one-on-one meeting between this president and Mr. Putin. There needs to be other Americans in the room," Warner told reporters.
Warner's comments come after 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted in the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Warner added that Trump should cancel the meeting if he isn't willing to make Friday's indictment a "top priority" for his closed-door sit-down with Putin.
"Secondly, if the president and his team are not willing to make the facts of this indictment a top priority of the meeting in Helsinki then the summit should be canceled," Warner told reporters.
