Republican Sen. John McCain, in a statement on today’s indictments, said President Trump must confront Russian President Vladimir Putin from "a position of strength."

McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said today's charges confirms that the Kremlin attacked the 2016 election and worked to "sow chaos and dissension among the American electorate, and undermine faith in our democracy."

“President Trump must be willing to confront Putin from a position of strength and demonstrate that there will be a serious price to pay for his ongoing aggression towards the United States and democracies around the world," the Arizona lawmaker said.
