Former White House Russia specialist spoke at the Principles First meeting, where she said ex-president āidolisesā Russian leader
Donald Trump āwould have lost his mind completelyā at his summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, the former White House Russia specialist Fiona Hill said, if the Russian president had simply admitted he did in fact interfere on Trumpās behalf in the US election two years before.
Trump, Hill said, refused āto believe that Russia tried to tip the scales to his benefit. And if Putin had actually said to him at some point, āNo, Donald, I did try to interfere in the election,ā I think he would have lost his mind completely.
āBecause what would he have done about that? Heās trying to push back against this and the conclusion of course is that no, Russia didnāt do that at all.ā
Hill, a British-born academic and analyst now chancellor of Durham University, was a deputy assistant to the president in the Trump administration. She was speaking on Saturday at the Principles First Summit in Washington DC.
If what you were saying had a point, what would it be?
Is there an adult around that perhaps could help you with inference ?
Iām actually from a working class town in England and Iām not sure what youāre getting at?
Well you wouldnāt, would you ?
