Fiona Hill explains what happened during the infamous Helsinki summit.
A former White House official involved in one of the most infamous moments of the Trump administration is speaking out about what went down behind the scenes. Fiona Hill, who was the top Russia analyst on the National Security Council under President Donald Trump, called the 2018 joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki “mortifying” and “humiliating for the country.” That was the news conference where Trump sided with Putin, refused to blame Russia for Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election and called the United States “foolish.” Speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday, Hill confirmed what she previously told the BBC: The press conference was going so poorly that she considered faking a medical emergency ― complete with a “blood-curdling scream” ― to force an end to the event.
