DNI Dan Coats Tells Senate Trump-Putin Meeting Best Discussed Behind Closed Doors: ‘A Sensitive Issue’
EXCERPT:
WYDEN: "Let me ask one other question for you, Director Haspel the and Director Coats, to change the subject to Russia and particularly these Trump/Putin meetings. According to press reports, Donald Trump met privately with Vladimir Putin and no one in the U.S. Government has the full story about what was discussed. Director Haspel and Director Coats, would this put you in a disadvantaged position in terms of understanding Russia’s efforts to advance its agenda against the United States? Question for you two, and then I’m out of time. Thank you for letting me have them respond."
COATS: "Well, Senator, clearly, this is a sensitive issue and it’s an issue that we ought to talk about this afternoon. I look forward to discussing that in a closed session."
