However, this new information again is contrary to objections from officials of the trump, which they repeat, is not the one month that his campaign had no connections with officials representing the Russian government.
Note that Gordon, who led the Advisory Committee as campaign Director of trump national security, said that, while he was talking to Kislyak in Cleveland, this is not unusual because the presidential campaign is typical to interact with other diplomats. He called the meeting “informal.”
In turn, the page, who also spoke with the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, cited “privacy rules” by refusing to say that he had discussed with the Ambassador.
We will remind, earlier it became known that the adviser to trump and his son Jared Kushner also talked with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak along with Michael Flynn. Now, however, it is unknown how long and frequent were the contacts Flynn and Kouchner.
