We're seeing more and more congressional Democrats attempting to push the concept of Russian collusion onto the American electorate. I am just challenging it because it is a dangerous narrative, Max Blumenthal, American author and journalist, told RT.
The White House accused the media of "Russia fever
" over
reports about a supposed secret meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the G-20 summit earlier this month. It has emerged that the leaders did speak for a second time, but only during a joint dinner with other leaders.
President Trump dubbed the story "Fake News
" in a tweet, saying that the press was aware of the dinner, and that all the G-20 leaders were present.
Furthermore, Democratic member of the US House of Representatives Jamie Raskin was challenged by a journalist Max Blumenthal after he claimed that Trump's ex-advisor was a host on this channel.
RT spoke to Max Blumenthal.
