Sen. Rand Paul continued his sprint to the front of the Republican Russia Caucus by going to Moscow Monday to meet with key Russian political—and Trump-Russia scandal—figures like former envoy to Washington Sergey Kislyak:
In a meeting at Russia’s upper house of parliament, Paul also invited Russian lawmakers to meet with U.S. Congress members, in Washington or elsewhere, Interfax news agency reported him as saying. “I think this is incredibly important,” Paul said after the high-profile sit-down.
