The most powerful Democrat on Capitol Hill said Friday that President Trump should call off his summit next week with Russian leader Vladimir Putin after prosecutors indicted Russian military operatives for hacking the 2016 election.
Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said the indictments prove Mr. Putin’s government interfered with the election — and said Mr. Trump needs to take steps to make clear he understands the gravity of that.
“President Trump should cancel his meeting with Vladimir Putin until Russia takes demonstrable and transparent steps to prove that they won’t interfere in future elections,” Mr. Schumer said. “Glad-handing with Vladimir Putin on the heels of these indictments would be an insult to our democracy.”

Schumer needs to mind his own business and work on the DNC.
Having zero basis to present to America happens to be his dilemma.When one has nothing to offer,he or she attacks those who do.They make their statements and then immediately do an about face & leave before anyone can ask them what THEY would do.There must be some media equality rule that gives them airtime regardless.
