Trump’s summit with Putin falls on the heels of deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s announcement last week that the Department of Justice had indicted 12 Russian officials for hacking the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Trump was encouraged by Democrats and some Republicans to avoid meeting with Putin one-on-one over the indictment, but Trump pressed forward with his Monday meeting.
