CNN’s Zeleny at G-20: ‘Yet Another World Summit’ Where Trump’s ‘Distracted’ with Mueller Probe

EXCERPT:

ZELENY: “We got a statement from white House press secretary Sarah Sanders that does not add much to this at all. It confuses the matter even more. But let’s take a look add it and we’ll explain what she says. She says this, 'The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax, which is hopefully now nearing an end, is doing very well. Unfortunately, it probably does undermine our relationship with Russia. However, the reason for our canceled meeting is Ukraine. Hopefully that will be resolved soon so that productive conversations can begin.' So, of course, the reason that the meeting was called off, the president said, was because of Ukraine, a situation with the Navy sailors there that Russia is still holding them. But the underlying reason without question and Sarah Sanders acknowledges there is the uncomfortable optics of President Trump appearing one-on-one with Vladimir Putin in the wake of those headlines yesterday still ongoing. We’re at yet another world summit where the president distracted and trying to deal with the obstacle course of the Russia probe."
