President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin met on Wednesday, kicking off their long-anticipated meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The two leaders briefly shook hands before entering the 18th-century Swiss villa for the summit. Putin and Biden spoke briefly to the press at the top of the meeting with the help of an interpreter, but the audio was very poor. “I know you’ve been on a long journey and have a lot of work,” Putin said. “Still the U.S. and Russia and U.S. relations have a lot of issues accumulated that require the highest level meeting and I hope our meeting will be productive.” “As I said outside, I think it’s always better to meet face-to-face,” Biden said, noting the importance of finding areas of “mutual interests” between the two countries. The president also spoke about the United States and Russia as “two great powers,” reports noted afterward. As reporters from both Russia and the United States struggled for position during the meeting, … [Read more...]

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cautioned former President Donald Trump and other elected officials from questioning election results. After claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin “helped elect Trump” in 2016 instead of her, Clinton said suggesting the 2020 presidential election was rigged or not conducted fairly is doing the work of Putin.

We never thought we had to worry about people who didn’t believe in our democracy, in our Constitution, in our separation of powers, in our institutions.” She continued, “And sadly, what we’ve seen over the last four years and particularly since our election in 2020 is that we have people … [Read more...]
