Kapur: If Trump Doesn’t Deal with Russian Meddling at G-20 It Could ‘Haunt’ Him

EXCERPT:

KAPUR: "It’s a seminal political moment for him, Kate, for President Trump in bringing up the question of, you know, what he’s going to do and how he’s going to confront an adversary that his own intelligence agencies and intelligence agencies in the United States believe inappropriately meddled in the United States election. If he doesn’t do this now, there are concerns already among experts that Russia is going to try this again. But if -- if this isn't dealt with appropriately in terms of sanctions and punishing them fo doing this and beating up our cyber infrastructure to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future, this could come back to haunt him and this could be a real blemish on his legacy if nothing is done about it. I’m sure you’ll hear demands from Democrats in particular on Capitol Hill that he bring this up. I don't know what Republicans are going to say about this publicly but privately many many of them absolutely are concerned that the United States is not doing enough for this. And his own counterterrorism officials have said that Russia is going to be attempt this again. And the only question is whether they succeed and what the United States does about it."
