It seems that anyone in Russia who is, or is reputed to be a billionaire is automatically on the list. This seems to be the case irrespective of whether they are pro-Putin or not.
Putin himself – much to his chagrin – is not on the list. It is not clear why.
Pelosi asked during a press conference on Wednesday….
“President Trump is completely silent about Russia’s ongoing assault on our democracy and his administration’s outrageous refusal to impose sanctions. What’s that about? What is that about?”
“What do the Russians have on him politically, personally, financially that he would ignore his responsibility in that regard?”
