Pelosi: Keep Putin out of Congress

Published



House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Friday that it is “beyond belief” that President Trump would invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to Washington for a follow-up meeting, and warned Putin should never be invited to address a joint session of Congress.

“The notion that President Trump would invite a tyrant to Washington is beyond belief,” Pelosi said in a statement. “Putin’s ongoing attacks on our elections and on Western democracies and his illegal actions in Crimea and the rest of Ukraine deserve the fierce, unanimous condemnation of the international community, not a VIP ticket to our nation’s capital.”
