Questionable Act: Trump Asked About Russian Sanctions by Maria Butina

At a press conference, Russian spy Maria Butina disguised as a reporter asked Trump what he will do about sanctions. Trump replied that he would get rid of them shocking the few people paying attention to Trump at this early stage. Butina was arrested on Jul 15, 2018

Verified: It’s on video. You can watch this anytime you wish. The big question is was this setup? If so, by who? Trump called on her first at the press conference! Why? That’s very strange. Who told Trump to call on her first? Why?
