But then he appears to change his mind, telling reporters "we're doing very well" and that "there's been no president ever as tough as I have been on Russian Federation".
"They are still looking for ways to steal information about voter registration, for example", Clinton claimed. It should concern every American of any political party because this was a direct attack on our democracy. "They may get aggressive".
After a beat she added: "The great mystery is why the President hasn't spoken up for our country".
Exactly what Mr. Trump and Putin discussed, and what agreement or agreements they reached, has been the topic of much discussion and confusion.
Speaking at OzyFest - a festival of talks and music - in Central Park, New York on Saturday, Clinton also said Russian agents were targeting the November midterm elections in a renewed attempt to disrupt United States democracy, and could this time attack election infrastructure such as "the servers you send results to" and "the operations of voting machines".
The news of the invitation to the Russian leader was also confirmed on Twitter by Sarah Sanders, the White House Press Secretary. Axios reports that Putin proposed that Russia be allowed to question several U.S. citizens, including former U.S. Ambassador to Russia and a U.S. investor, in exchange for Russian interviews for Robert Mueller's probe, but the deal was shot down after backlash from the State Department. The incident, which she called "deeply disturbing", spurred Clinton to consider her own experiences dealing with the Russian president. "It is deeply disturbing", she said. I have President Putin.

Russia has sent formal proposals to Washington for joint US-Russia efforts to fund reconstruction of war-ravaged Syria and to facilitate the return home of millions of Syrians who fled the country. They are very strong people.
What's worse, findings from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who announced 12 more indictments of Russian agents on July 13, showed that Russians were looking into how to hack key American infrastructure, from the power grid to nuclear energy plants. "The whole "active measures" tool kit has been used by him".
And Sanders created a fresh headache for the administration when she said the White House was still reviewing a proposal from Putin to allow access by Russian law enforcement officials to Americans whom the Kremlin accuses of unspecified crimes in return for US access to interrogations of Russian agents indicted for their alleged roles in interfering in the 2016 election. Trump initially had described the idea as an "incredible offer". Is to vote in November'. Speaking with CNBC, Trump later characterized (and distorted) the exchange as "fools from the media saying, 'Why didn't you stand there, look him in the face, walk over to him, and start shouting at him?' I said, 'Are these people insane?"
"There is lots of work to do to figure out how to implement that, but the United States certainly wants to be part of helping to achieve that resolution in Syria".
Clinton, speaking at OZY Fest in New York City, said that refusing to condemn Russian election interference "only empowers them and only enables them to continue destroying" the USA electoral process.
