Trump grants interview to Russian-funded news site

Source: The Hill

Donald Trump on Thursday conducted a roughly 15-minute interview with a Russian news network as he dismisses accusations that he's too friendly toward Vladimir Putin.

Trump did a phone interview with RT America’s “Politicking,” a show hosted by veteran television host Larry King.

Trump was noncommittal when asked about Russia's alleged meddling in the U.S. election


“I think that that is pretty unlikely,” he told King. "I think it’s probably unlikely."

have shows on there. Hartmann is M-F 6-7pm CST, and Ed Schultz M-Th 7-7:30pm cst, and Friday is "redacted Now". This alone puts RT news head and shoulders above any American MSM "news" outlet.

I happen to watch it frequently. Why are they trying to vilify RT at "The Hill' by saying it's a Russian news network. CNN is a U.S news network and is blasted all over the world. Larry King is a right winger as well. Who gives a rat's ass. Don't watch it.

CNN is not owned by the US government. RT is owned by the Russian government.
