• News Alert: A proposed meeting between Trump and Putin

    From CNN Breaking News@VERT to no-reply@siteservices.cnn.com on Wed Nov 1 11:22:54 2017
    Candidate Donald Trump did not dismiss the idea of arranging a meeting with Russia's president when it was suggested in a meeting with his campaign foreign policy advisers last year, according to a person in the room.

    The idea was raised by George Papadopoulos as he introduced himself at a March 2016 meeting of the Republican candidate's foreign policy advisers, according to a court filing.

    "He didn't say yes and he didn't say no," the official said, declining to be more specific about Trump's response to Papadopoulos.

    But the chairman of Trump's national security team, then Alabama senator and now attorney general Jeff Sessions, shut down the idea of a Putin meeting at the March 31, 2016, gathering, according to the source. His reaction was confirmed with another source who had discussed Session's role.

    Trump's response to Papadopoulos' offer could be of interest to special counsel's office.
