Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be out Tuesday with a memoir that hits former President Trump for defending Vladimir Putin at a notorious press conference.
Driving the news:
"My first major Russia-related work as secretary came in July 2018, when President Trump met Putin in Helsinki," Pompeo writes in ""This engagement," Pompeo writes, "is remembered for the press conference held at the end of their meeting" — aTrump’s language there was neither accurate nor helpful," Pompeo adds:
To stand next to Putin and say that he believed Putin’s claims that he didn’t meddle in the U.S. election was very Trumpian. It was also a mistake. It lacked the depth to address the question that had come from the American reporter: "Do you hold Russia at all accountable for anything in particular?" Trump’s answer reflected his inability or refusal to separate the Russia Hoax from the fact that Russia had tried to sow chaos in the 2016 election.
