Trump Adviser Fiona Hill Is One Of The Only Women With Him In Helsinki — What To Know
Jul 16, 2018
Although details of the discussion between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki were kept under wraps, a photo of their joint meeting highlights a stark imbalance. Only one woman political adviser had a seat at the table with the two world leaders on Monday. So, who is Fiona Hill? The Trump adviser and Russia expert has had disagreements with the president in the past.
Hill currently serves as the senior director for Russian and European Affairs on the National Security Council. She was part of the U.S. delegation at the table on Monday along with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Adviser John Bolton, and interpreter Marina Gross, CNN reports.

Before that mixup, Trump didn’t invite Hill to his meeting with Putin at the G20 summit last summer because he was apparently worried about people leaking the specifics of their discussion. Trump officials reportedly pushed for Hill to be involved, though, as including a critic of Putin might help alleviate concerns that Trump was too close with the Kremlin.
“If [Hill] wasn’t there it would be pretty bad, this is the most momentous thing in her portfolio,” former Pentagon Russia policy chief Evelyn Farkas, told The Daily Beast last year. The only valid reason for Hill not to be in the room would have been to make room for McMaster, according to Farkas.
She was similarly excluded from Monday’s one-on-one conversation between the leaders, but was a part of the larger meeting between Trump, Putin, and their top aides. Her absence worried some foreign policy experts that Putin would have the upper hand with Trump.

Lawmakers want Trump’s interpreter to testify. That might be unethical
Jul 20, 2018
I think a fair amount of of our domestic enemies don’t believe they can actually impeach Trump, and that he will not be removed, and their priomary focus is to do as much damage to Trump and America as possible to influence the election to make it as ugly as possible so that their street warriors will be emboldened once again the day after Election Day.
I just hope “we” will stop being surprised at how low the Rats WILL go.
Same as the attacks on Kavanaugh.
Nothing is going to change until the GOP-e stops trying to protect Ryan, Romney and Graham.
Or, as Mark Twain once said, 'Liberals are so broad-minded, they won't even take their own side in an argument.'
Heh, heh. Mark Twain is a hero of mine. I’m surprised I hadn’t hear that one. Thanks.
The secret one-sided fake hearings. Scam! Witch hunt! Dishonest and unethical Democrats. More of the same.
British born communist.
She sure looks British.
And she has so much experience! All academia until 1999 and a short 6 years later she is a national security expert on Russia! Voila!
That is what I have seen of him.
He’s throwing a rebellious temper tantrum like a 3 year old who didn’t get his way.
I thought I read somewhere she was a SPY....???
I thought I read somewhere she was a SPY....???
Who agreed to this being CLOSED DOOR testimony? Where is the GOP and RINOS outrage over this?
I never knew empaths were also clairvoyant or psychic.
Is that dope Romeny actively trying to gain support of other traitorous RINOs to impeach Trump?
I’m certain Romney is where he is to lead the bipartisan “remove Trump” movement.
Actually it is John Bolton.
The Establishment lost their marbles when President Trump released Bolton.
So Bolton is playing revenge working with the Establishment.
I agree with you about Bolton. He is a lot like James Comey; the smartest man in whatever room he enters and woe be anyone who doesn’t recognize that. Why this type person keeps getting hired is beyond me.
Geez... Can we get upset and turn molehills into mountains?
The Bidens have already plead guilty to the crimes the donkeys are still trying to pin on Trump.
Weird article...Farkas’s comment makes it sound like Fiona’s the only one there skeptical of Putin which is obviously false.
