Following Trump’s and Clinton’s appearances at the NBC forum, where they answered questions for a half hour each, Graham said both candidates’ statements “disturb (him) greatly”.

Donald Trump gave an interview Thursday with RT, Russia’s state-sponsored global news network, in which he said it was “probably unlikely” that the Kremlin was interfering with the USA presidential election. “Far more than our president has been a leader”, he said.
However, Trump seems to equate bluster with talent, and not only in his own case. Trump asserted that he would have a very good relationship with many foreign leaders, unlike President Obama, who he said was not accorded a red carpet welcome when he went to China recently.
The interview was striking given that Trump spent Thursday on the defensive over some of his laudatory comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. “I think i would have a very, very good relationship with Russia”, Trump said. Miller later said Trump wouldn’t have agreed to do the interview had he known it would be aired on RT. “Persecution is not leadership, tanking your economy is not leadership and if you look at that and you see something you like, then you are no leader either”.
“I think under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble”. Trump has said far worse about Obama in appearances on USA television networks.
“We are especially concerned about the persecution of journalists in Russian Federation, which has been occurring with increasing frequency, severity, and impunity”, Pence, a co-chair and co-founder of the Congressional Caucus for Freedom of the Press, wrote to Rice. And of course, Hillary Clinton failed with her Russian Reset.
Clinton said the United States would not let North Korea pursue a nuclear weapon and said that as president, she would seek new sanctions in addition to those endorsed by the Obama administration and adopted earlier in the year with the United Nations.
Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, defended Trump’s appearance to CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “New Day” on Friday, saying that Trump wasn’t criticizing the USA to say the Iraq War was a failure.
But she also said, “It was a mistake to have a personal account”. “I mean, nobody wants to play the full clip”.
“It’s very clear that the Russians were behind the DNC attack”, Kaine said.
In 2014, Clinton said on NPR’s On Point that the reset “worked” and “succeeded”, because it was “a device to try to refocus attention on the transactional efforts that we needed to get done with the Russians”.

“Klebnikov was the twelfth reporter to be killed in mafia-style assassinations in direct reprisals for their journalism in Russian Federation since President Putin came to power in 2000, and not one of the murderers has been brought to justice”, Pence and the other congressmen wrote.
