Russian ambassador says he won't name all the Trump officials he's met with: 'The list is so long"

Yup. Twist that knife.


Russian ambassador says he won't name all the Trump officials he's met with because 'the list is so long'

Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak said it would take him more than 20 minutes to name all of the Trump officials he's met with.

Kislyak made the remarks in a sprawling interview with Russia-1, a popular state-owned Russian television channel.


Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak said on Wednesday that it would take him more than 20 minutes to name all of the Trump officials he's met with or spoken to on the phone.

"First, I'm never going to do that," he said. "And second, the list is so long that I'm not going to be able to go through it in 20 minutes."

Kislyak made the remarks in a sprawling interview with Russia-1, a popular state-owned Russian television channel. In the interview, which a Russian media expert said resembled "late night American television," he also joked about American investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, called U.S. President Donald Trump "witty," and said that U.S.-Russian relations were worse than at any point since the end of the Cold War.
