Trump attacks McCain, who died last year, over 'Dossier' leak
President Trump doubled down on his weekend attacks against John McCain in light of new evidence about the Trump-Russia dossier.
The unverified 35-page dossier, which was leaked to media and published by Buzzfeed in January of 2017, alleges the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016 presidential election. It had been reported that McCain was involved in disseminating the leaked dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. The Steele dossier was one of the starting points of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
But this was not “BEFORE the Election,” as Trump boldly claimed, because Kramer testified he only was briefed on the dossier by a former British diplomat on Nov. 19, 2016, nearly two weeks after Election Day. McCain had also been briefed and then in the following weeks gave the reports alleging conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian government to former FBI Director James Comey.
McCain’s daughter Meghan, came to his defense Saturday, responding to Trump in a tweet: “No one will ever love you the way they loved my father.... I wish I had been given more Saturday’s with him. Maybe spend yours with your family instead of on twitter obsessing over mine?” John McCain had been tortured and held as a prisoner for over five years during the Vietnam War, refusing offers of early repatriation ahead of his fellow POWs.
