Schiff: Putin’s Offer is Laughable

The senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is shrugging off as worthless propaganda Russian President Vladimir Putin’s offer to provide a record of a White House meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and two Russian officials. 

In an interview with The Cipher Brief on Wednesday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said, “No one could place any confidence in it, and it’s kind of a laughable proposition – do we need the Russians to tell us what’s happening in our own White House?”

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
