“And I think I would have a very, very good relationship with Russia”, Trump said at a “commander in chief” forum on the decommissioned USS Intrepid, now a floating museum, here yesterday.
Clinton argued that Trump would let President Putin do “whatever he wants to do”. The real estate billionaire also said although he does not approve of the system in that country, he is clearly a leader- much more than what the US President is.

Clinton was grilled over her handling of classified information while using a private email server during her tenure at the State Department.

Clinton blasted Trump for appearing on the network and praising Putin.
“I just watched her on the tarmac”, he said.
