The White House pushed back against Sen. Rand Paul Wednesday after the Kentucky Republican implied on Twitter that President Trump had asked him to deliver a letter of introduction to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Paul, who has been visiting Russia with a delegation for several days, said, "I was honored to deliver a letter from President Trump to President Vladimir Putin’s administration."
The White House told Fox News that Paul asked Trump to write a letter of introduction to the Russian leader. While Trump obliged the senator and wrote the letter, the White House said the idea that Trump asked Paul to deliver the letter to Putin on Trump's behalf is not true.
According to the White House, the letter read: "I would like to introduce Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a voice for expanding dialogue with the Russian Federation. He will be in Moscow from August 5 to August 8.
I knew this was a bad idea from the get go, everyone here knows that I am very pro Putin and Russia but the appearance of a US senator going to Russia with all the negative things the media and this administration has been accusing Russia and Putin with just looks very bad.
Plus, I have been saying that Trump is by far the most anti Russian US president we have had since Ronald Reagan and Rand trying to foster any outreach between the two sides will only backfire on him. He just looks like a spineless messenger boy for the deep state agent in Trump.
