Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) weighed in Monday on the stunning joint press conference with President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, where Trump refused to denounce Putin for the 12 Russian officials indicted for tampering in the 2016 U.S. election.

Though Amash’s critique is mild, it is a notable dissension for a Republican who is not retiring from Congress.
