>> april, the idea with putin and trump meeting with all the russia investigation stuff happening in the background, it would be their third meeting, but their first one-on-one summit. >> yeah. the optics of this are questionable, because one, again, where would the meeting take place? the white house is not the setting for this. particularly since the russian government is thought to have or have been confirmed by u.s. officials to have meddled in the 2016 process. vladimir putin and the presid...
