Tillerson Contradicts Trump on the Diplomatic Impact of the Russia Probe
‘The domestic issues around the Russia involvement in our elections are not part of our dialogue elsewhere’
RUSH EXCERPT:
LABOTT: "President Trump said that this whole Russia investigation has been a kind of drag on your foreign policy, that it hurts you with allies, that there is a lot of confusion. How has that impacted your dealings with world leaders in terms of this cloud, if you will?"
TILLERSON: "It has had no impact."
LABOTT: "Really?"
TILLERSON: "It’s had none. It never comes up in our conversations or my bilasts or — the domestic issues around the Russia involvement in our elections are not part of our dialogue elsewhere. I think the rest of the world recognizes it is a domestic issue. It’s an important one. The Russians and we talk about it and we have said to them, look, it’s a problem."
