Bob Goodlatte critical of Trump after Russia summit press conference

Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) released this statement after the joint press conference following the U.S.-Russia Summit.

“We have seen time and again that Russia will stop at nothing to interfere with and undermine our system of government. Just days ago, the Department of Justice announced more Russian nationals have been charged with attempting to interfere with the 2016 Presidential election. This is not a country that can be trusted.

“U.S. intelligence agencies have confirmed Russia’s actions, and the evidence is plentiful. Today’s summit was an opportunity to forcefully address this growing threat directly with President Putin. I am dismayed that we did not see that.”
