Donald Trump “would have lost his mind completely” at his summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, the former White House Russia specialist Fiona Hill said, if the Russian president had simply admitted he did in fact interfere on Trump’s behalf in the US election two years before.
Trump, Hill said, refused “to believe that Russia tried to tip the scales to his benefit. And if Putin had actually said to him at some point, ‘No, Donald, I did try to interfere in the election,’ I think he would have lost his mind completely.
“Because what would he have done about that? He’s trying to push back against this and the conclusion of course is that no, Russia didn’t do that at all.”
Hill, a British-born academic and analyst now chancellor of Durham University, was a deputy assistant to the president in the Trump administration. She was speaking on Saturday at the Principles First Summit in Washington DC.

Fiona ‘did I mention I come from working class town in England “ Hill. Made a career speculating was the Kremlin may or may not do.
If what you were saying had a point, what would it be?
Is there an adult around that perhaps could help you with inference ?
I'm actually from a working class town in England and I'm not sure what you're getting at?
Well you wouldn’t, would you ?
