Bill Browder, a prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Thursday said that if President Trump turns him over to the Russian government he will be handing him over to his death.
"To hand me over to Putin is basically to hand me over to my death," Browder said while appearing on CNN’s "At This Hour."
Putin mentioned Browder by name during a press conference with the president on Monday, where the Russian leader said that the Kremlin would permit special counsel Robert Mueller’s team to travel to Russia and question 12 Russian intelligence officers indicted in the Russia probe so long as Russia is allowed to interrogate some people “who have something to do with illegal actions in the territory of Russia.”
The Russian leader alleged without evidence that Browder, an American-born financier, illegally transferred $1.5 billion out of Russia and had funneled $400 million toward Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The Russian prosecutor’s office later corrected that figure to $400,000.
Browder, who also lobbied on behalf of the Magnitsky Act, which imposed sanctions against Russia, has since denied the allegations and contended on Thursday that he is "Putin's No. 1 foreign enemy."
"What the Russians have said very clearly on a number of occasions is they'd like to get me back to Russia ... and once I'm back in Russia, they would like to kill me. Anything that begins that process is effectively a death sentence for me," Browder said.
However, Browder said he doesn’t believe the US will go in on a “dirty deal” with Putin.
"The United States has very clear laws in relation to mutual legal assistance with Russia, in relation to extradition with Russia and various other things," he said.
"You have agencies that operate on those laws, and I don't think that there are going to be people who work in the apparatus of the law enforcement agencies of the United States that are going to be going along with a dirty deal with Putin."
The White House backed away from Putin's proposal on Thursday after initially indicating that Trump would consider the move.
“It is a proposal that was made in sincerity by President Putin, but President Trump disagrees with it," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "Hopefully President Putin will have the 12 identified Russians come to the United States to prove their innocence or guilt."
The White House response came after almost 24 hours of criticism from Democrats, Republicans and former diplomats that added to the hailstorm of criticism Trump has received over his meeting with Putin in Helsinki earlier this week.
The Senate approved a resolution by a 98-0 vote warning the president not to let the Russian government question diplomats and other officials, shortly after the White House statement.
That’s assuming that those who would be watching him closely aren’t the same ones he should be worried about.
I think that’s why Trump invited Putin in September. Have his people interrogate here! Same tactic as Mullers.
I’ve not read the book but I’m familiar with the tale.
As I will pretty much never take a Clinton associate’s word at face value, I also looked around to see what the other side of the story was.
The other side of the story seems to be the more credible of the two, although I’m not sure I believe either one. Most likely there were bad actors on both ends of the situation.
I’m not sure where you’re getting that he was a “Clinton associate”? What’s that based on?

I'm sure there is much else to tie them that we do not yet know.
That’s his dad.
Got anything else?
BTW:
That’s Felix Browder, a mathematician, receiving the National Medal of Science for “his pioneering work in nonlinear functional analysis and its applications to partial differential equations, and for leadership in the scientific community.”
Trump won’t have to. HRC will kill you first, Bill. You are damaged goods and a liability.
Yeah it’s his dad, which means a Clinton connection exists. Check out his grandpa too. And Hillary’s best buddy McCain is deeply involved with Browder and has been for a long time.
If Bill Browder doesn’t stink to high heaven, your olfactory senses have failed you.
Why is this guy worried about Trump?
Browder is a British citizen living in England.
How would POTUS “turn him over” to Putin?
The Obama administration, Hillary and then Kerry, lobbied against Browder on the Maginsky Act.
>>which means a Clinton connection exists
Which you haven’t specified. Other than his dad got a science medal under Bill’s administration.
You have a lot of dubious guilt by association, some going back two generations.
Reason would require something better.
Browder is clearly involved in the same crowd as Clinton as his extensive and longstanding McCain connections, as well as his anti-Russia jihad, both testify.
If you’re siding with Browder then you have either anti-Russian paranoia issues or full blown TDS.
You still haven’t given any specifics other than a vague taint by association.
I siding with the evidence as best I know it.
I’m not sure what you’re siding with?
I’m siding with my instincts which say that when someone’s go-to guy is John McCain, the entire story is a manipulative fraud.
Like, I seriously don’t understand how the extensive McCain connection doesn’t cause you to question every bit of the story from top to bottom. And on top of that, when additional claims are made that promote the Clinton Russia nonsense, trying to get us to believe the ridiculous assertion that Fusion GPS was a Trump ally in some way and not paid to destroy him... what are you thinking?
It appears you have never actually heard the other side of the story, which doesn’t come from either Fusion GPS or Putin.
You have accepted a one-sided story supplied by a faction of traitors. Whatever wiring in your brain failed to fire a 5-alarm fraud alert should be a serious concern to you.
I didn't assert that, au contraire: FusionGPS worked for Russia, and against Trump.
For Russia against Maginsky:
Fusion GPS was involved in the anti-Magnitsky campaign in Washington DC in the spring-summer of 2016.And against Trump:
Sen. Grassley: Checking the Facts: There Is Evidence Fusion GPS Was Paid by Russia While Compiling Trump Dossier
The co-founder of Fusion GPS, the firm behind the unverified Trump dossier, met with a Russian lawyer before and after a key meeting she had last year with Trump’s son, Fox News has learned. The contacts shed new light on how closely tied the firm was to Russian interests, at a time when it was financing research to discredit then-candidate Donald Trump.>>you have never actually heard the other side of the story
Fusion GPS official met with Russian operative before and after Trump Jr. sit-down
I spend almost a week immersed in this story from all sources I could find.
>>>It appears you have never actually heard the other side of the story, which doesn’t come from either Fusion GPS or Putin.
I'm waiting to hear your version of what that is.
>>>Whatever wiring in your brain...
Ad hominem arguments are not a sign of a solid position, and I'm way too old to take flame bait. We can still discuss passionately without it.
