Hillary Clinton: 'Deeply troubling' for White House to consider Putin request to interview Americans [View all]
Source: The Hill
Hillary Clinton on Thursday condemned the Trump administration for considering Russian President Vladimir Putin's offer to allow U.S. law enforcement to observe questioning of indicted Russians in exchange for allowing Russian authorities to question American citizens.
"Ambassador @McFaul is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America," Clinton tweeted. "To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling."
Clinton joined a growing chorus of Democrats, Republicans and former diplomats who have expressed concerns with the White House's decision to discuss Putin's offer.
Clinton, who lost to President Trump in 2016, served as secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, when she briefly overlapped with former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul's tenure as U.S. ambassador to Russia.
