The findings indicate that while Trump was judged critically for his summit performance, the event has not yet proved to be a significant turning point in his presidency.
After the Mueller indictment against 12 Russian officials was announced, Trump went ahead with the planned meeting with Putin.
In December 2016, between Trump's election and his inauguration, Obama said that he had told Putin in September 2016 "cut it out" in a reference to cyberattacks targeting the USA electoral process.
"The president missed, I think, a really good opportunity to distinguish the United States from any other country, but especially from Russia", Gowdy said.
During the interview, NBC's Andrea Mitchell told Coats on stage that the White House had just announced "Putin is coming to the White House in the fall". He also said that he trusted the USA intelligence that pointed to the election meddling, according to Inquisitr. Any expression of concern about Russian interference seems, in President Trump's mind, to delegitimize his electoral victory, and consequently his presidency. Why didn't he do something about it?
"Why didn't he tell our campaign?"

Trump denies there was any collusion and has described Mueller's probe as a "witch hunt" meant to detract from his election victory.
"When you hear the Fake News talking negatively about my meeting with President Putin, and all that I gave up, remember, I gave up NOTHING", Trump said wrote on Twitter.
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders sought to clarify the president's tweet Monday morning by arguing that the president wasn't expressing doubt on the intelligence community's assessment that Russian Federation meddled but was instead "referring to the claim that his campaign had anything to do with it". "He's been very clear that there wasn't any".
"I thought it was a very disturbing performance with Vladimir Putin", Toomey said on a telephone town-hall he held with Pennsylvania residents Wednesday.
On Fox News, Sanders reiterated that if "we could get this out of the way and if Congress and the special counsel could come to the same conclusion the rest of America has, that this is a hoax and a waste of time", detailed The Guardian. Over the weekend, Trump zeroed in on release of a foreign intelligence search warrant regarding campaign aide Carter Page, claiming is it is evidence that the Barack Obama administration "spied" on his campaign using information from a politically motivated "dossier" of information about Trump and the Russians. He also added that the documents were made classified in order to "cover up misconduct".
