    (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said today's Trump-Putim summit in Helsinki is not about holding Russia accountable for its cyber-hacking and election interference. "I think really we mistake our response if we think it's about accountability from the Russians," Paul told CNN's "State of the Union." They are another country. They are going to spy on us. The do spy on us. They are going to interfere in our elections. We also do the same.

    President Donald Trump was upset about a propaganda video released by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March showing off the country’s “invincible” new nuclear-powered missile capable of hitting anywhere in the world, Axios reports ahead of the leaders’ summit. Animation used in the video showed a missile striking Florida, specifically near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach. Trump at the time didn’t react to the video, and Putin said he wasn’t trying to ignite a new Cold War. But, “clearly he wanted us to see that,” former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden told CNN in March. “This really...

    Former CIA Director John Brennan on Monday slammed President Trump for meeting alone with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Brennan, a frequent Trump critic, questioned what the president was “hiding” from his own advisers by insisting on meeting one-on-one with Putin at their summit in Helsinki, Finland. “Why did Trump meet 1 on 1 with Putin? What might he be hiding from Bolton, Pompeo, Kelly, & the American public?” Brennan tweeted. “How will Putin use whatever Trump could be hiding to advantage Russia & hurt America? Trump’s total lack of credibility renders spurious whatever explanation he gives.” Trump and Putin met...
