The Hill reports:
President Trump on Friday attacked Democratic calls for a probe into his contacts with Russia, tweeting a photo of Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The 2003 photo shows Schumer and Putin eating doughnuts in 2003 during Putin’s trip to New York to attend the opening of a Russian gas company’s station.
Pro-Trump blog Gateway Pundit posted the photo late Thursday, and conservative website Drudge Report made the photo its lead image earlier Friday.
We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite! pic.twitter.com/Ik3yqjHzsA
