To his post, the President attached the material of the publication Politico with a photograph, which in 2010, Pelosi was captured at the same table with the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak.
As the newspaper notes, when Pelosi asked if she ever Kislyak, she replied: “No, the Russian Ambassador, no.” In refutation of these words and was given this picture seven years ago when Medvedev with a Russian delegation of officials visited Washington. Pelosi was then speaker of the lower house.
In response to a request to comment on the photo and press Secretary parliamentarian drew Hammill said that Pelosi was referring to the absence of meetings with the Ambassador one-on-one.
Previously, trump has demanded investigation against Schumer for his “ties with Russia”, published the 2003, on which the Senator is depicted together with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. While trump called Schumer a hypocrite.
Schumer, Pelosi and their allies in the Democratic party are in favor of the investigation “relationships trump of Russia” and “Russia’s attempts to influence U.S. elections”.
The President’s opponents had another reason to attack after it became known that the attorney General Jeff sessions twice before the November elections spoke with Kislyak, but in the course of the hearings on his nomination in the Senate did not mention this fact. Democrats urged and Roman sessions to resign, but trump has expressed confidence in him.
