Buzzfeed: Trump Administration Admits It Cribbed From Forbes Magazine To Create “Oligarch List”
The revelation is likely to invite criticism that a congressionally mandated list designed to punish Russia for interfering in the US election was put together haphazardly.
The Trump administration is really taking this seriously! Glad someone at State had a copy of Forbes lying around.
Meanwhile, the AP is reporting “Putin on Tuesday referred to the list as a “hostile step” — but said Moscow does not want to make the situation even worse…The Russian president said he does not expect the publication to have any impact but expressed dismay at the scope of the officials and business people listed.” In other words, Putin had already read his copy of Forbes.
