President Donald Trump will not host Russian President Vladimir Putin in Washington until 2019, White House national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday, because it is Trump’s preference not to do so until “the Russia witch hunt is over.” “The President believes that the next bilateral meeting with President Putin should take place after the Russia witch hunt is over, so we've agreed that it will be after the first of the year,” Bolton said in a statement distributed through the White House press pool. There is no hard deadline for special counsel Robert Mueller to wrap up his Russia investigation, which Trump has often referred to as a "witch hunt," and no public indication that Mueller will do so by the end of the year. source: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/07/25/white-house-says-trump-wont-meet-putin-until-next-year-740492 #Headlines by: lnelson@politico.com (Louis Nelson)
