The remarks are the latest headache Trump has inflicted on Republicans this week and the latest entry into a year-long rift between Trump and several Republican Republicans in Russia. Trump’s comments also come at a politically difficult time for GOP lawmakers trying to pressure the Biden administration to do more in response to Putin’s weekly, bloody invasion of Ukraine.
“My message to Putin is that he’s going to leave,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham. plans a “much deeper dive” on Jackson then opposes the RES.C.
Asked if he thought the remark was appropriate, Graham added: “This would not be something I would do, no.” Senator John ThuneJohn Randolph ThuneManchin overturns Biden’s new tax plan for billionaires Schumer says Thomas will have to step down as GOP No. 2 senator to oppose Supreme Court nominee MORE (SD). “We have very little control over what the former president is saying,” said a Republican. “You know, there are a lot of voices out there right now, and you have to stay focused on the goal and that is to give the Ukrainians everything they need to succeed and win. “And I think that’s really a possibility,” Thune added.

Trump added: “I would think Putin would know the answer. “I think he should release her.” Trump referred to a controversial 2020 Senate GOP report on President Biden and Hunter Biden that resulted in minimal evidence of wrongdoing. He doubled his comments on Wednesday, saying “Russia may be willing to provide this information.”
Solomon, a former employee of The Hill, faced scrutiny for his columns during Trump’s first 2019 reference to Ukraine. The Hill then began a review of these columns. Democrats have argued that Trump abused his power in an attempt to pressure Ukraine to launch an investigation into the Bidens, including linking an investigation to aid. Not all Republicans distanced themselves from Trump’s comments. “If he believes that Vladimir Putin has information that a crime has been committed, do you know for sure why not?” said Senator Kevin CramerKevin John CramerPartisan Senate Group Seeks Details of Defense Aid to Ukraine Energy & Environment – Home to Continue Oil Lease Plans Republican senators introduce bill to ban imports to Russia. , were asked if Trump’s comments were appropriate.
But it’s not the first Russia-related headache for the GOP in response to Trump, which has been a point of contention between the former president, who remains the de facto party leader, and Republicans in Congress. The GOP-controlled Congress imposed new sanctions on Russia in 2017 over initial objections from the Trump administration. More recently, Trump has provoked reactions, including from regular Capitol allies, when he called Putin “understandable” and “genius.” “I do not think there is anything clever or genius about Putin,” said Kevin McCarthyKevin McCarthyJD Vance, a minority leader in the House of Representatives. Officials are skeptical that Russia is reducing its military campaign. Lawmakers pay tribute to the delayed GOP. “I think Putin is bad. I think he is a dictator. I think he is killing people right now,” McCarthy added. Trump also appeared to repeat the remarks in a statement Wednesday, calling Putin a “genius” for creating troops along the Russian-Ukrainian border before invading “because I assumed he would be able to negotiate easily.” a lot for Russia “. Trump’s latest comments come as Republicans are already facing questions this week about whether they contacted him on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of supporters of the then president broke into the Capitol and stopped counting the results of the 2020 Electoral College for hours.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to meet with members of the Ukrainian parliament today. “America is inspired by their courage and the bravery of the Ukrainian people to retaliate against Russian aggression,” Portman said after the meeting, adding that the government must speed up sanctions and deadly aid. Republicans have also predicted that anything that comes from Trump’s latest comments, such as much of what the president says, will be largely out of their control. “I do not know how to respond to this.
