Trump defends Putin on journo deaths, asks media to ‘prove it’
John McCain blasted Donald Trump Monday for his repeated praise of Russian president Vladimir Putin, arguing that the Republican presidential front-runner is providing propaganda for a “KGB apparatchik murderer”.

Several of his Republican rivals have appeared flabbergasted in recent days that Trump would wear Putin’s praise of him as a badge of honor.
“I think that our country does plenty of killing, too”, Trump explained to MSNBC last week.
Weighing in on Saturday night’s Democratic presidential debate, Trump called Hillary Clinton “a snake” and Bernie Sanders a “poor guy … gave this whole thing away”, referring to the first debate when Sanders said, “Enough with the damn emails”, and said he would not criticize Clinton about her controversial use of a private server while she was secretary of state.
Trump said: “Isn’t it sort of nice if countries we’re always fighting with maybe we get along with?”
He continued and said “In all fairness to Putin, you’re saying he killed people”.
“And I’m saying it would be a bad thing if it were true”, Trump insisted, “but I have never seen any information or any proof that he killed reporters George”.
“With Ukraine and other areas of the former USSR, I’m sure our Western partners aren’t working in the interests of Ukraine, they are working to prevent the recreation of the USSR”, he said in “World Order”, a documentary broadcast on the public Rossiya 1 channel. Have you been able to prove that?
Those people include “not only ethnic Russians, but also Russian speakers who are looking toward Russia”, Putin said. I think much of what he says are lies or gross distortion of reality, ” Sanders said. “It’s possible that he does but I don’t think it’s been proven”.
“Does he know for a fact that he kills the reporters? Let them do…” Trump said early in the rally, as he was drowned out by cheers. “But this isn’t like somebody that’s stood with a gun and he’s, you know, taken the blame or he’s admitted that he’s killed”.
Putin has denied allegations by independent observers and media that Russian regular troops are taking part in the conflict. “It’s never been proven that he killed anybody”.
“You’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty”, Trump said on Sunday.
The Telegraph later reported the NSA obtained communications that proved the Russian government authorized the killing.
