Summary
Just take a look at Trump's comments from the past several days. He's contradicted himself on multiple issues and it's clear that he's either lying or can't remember what he said.
Trump and Putin are meeting and the world is watching. How badly will Trump screw this up?
He's bungled his European visit and will certainly bungle his meeting with Putin.
On top of all that, the Justice Department announced some new indictments against Russia for how they meddled in our elections. No collusion? Witch hunt? Starting to look like they're finding some witches.
We talk about it with Max Bergmann from The Russia Project, Victoria Jones, who covers the White House and our buddy Jason Dick from CQ Roll Call!
