Lehtikuva/Jussi Nukari via REUTERS Associated Press reporter Jonathan Lemire "went there" yesterday. He asked, "Does the Russian government have any compromising material on President Trump or his family?" Putin did not immediately say no. He gave a lengthy answer and then added, "it’s difficult to imagine utter nonsense on a bigger scale than this." Whether that is a denial is open to interpretation. Even if the video existed, Putin would never admit it. In their wild press conference yesterday, perhaps the most uncomfortable moment came when Russian president Vladimir Putin was asked whether he had "compromising material" on US President Donald Trump.
