Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer is firing back at President Trump after Trump tweeted a photo of Schumer with Vladimir Putin. Trump called Schumer a “total hypocrite.”

Schumer challenged Trump saying he’s perfectly willing to talk about his meeting with the Russian leader and if the Trump team will do the same.
“Happily talk re: my contact w Mr. Putin & his associates, took place in ’03 in full view of press & public under oath. Would you &your team?” the Senate minority leader wrote.

Trump then put the target on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Twitter, but still failed to respond to Schumer’s challenge.
I hereby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it. https://t.co/qCDljfF3wN

Looks like Trump is too afraid to share his Russia ties…
