On Defense Over Russia, Trump Could Get Another Boost From House Intel Panel Enlarge this image toggle caption Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images The White House could look for another political booster shot on Thursday if its allies on the House intelligence committee give more detail about how they cleared President Trump's campaign of colluding with Russia's attack on the 2016 presidential election. Trump offered Putin "congratulations" and did not broach the issue of Russia's interference in U.S. elections or Russia's poisoning attack against two people in the United Kingdom. The United States and Russia must talk with each other, as Trump and Putin did, Sanders said — but the president is acting in America's interests. Sponsor Message Trump v. the special counsel The White House has been on offense against the Justice Department and its special counsel, Robert Mueller, since the firing last week of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
