Rand Paul Emerges As One Of Trump's Biggest Allies On Russia

Pavel Golovkin/AP Republican Sen. Rand Paul was once one of President Donald Trump's most prominent GOP critics, particularly during the 2016 presidential election. But in recent months he's become one of the president's biggest allies on issues relating to Russia. During a visit to Moscow on Monday, Paul invited Russian lawmakers to visit Washington, DC, expanding on Trump's efforts to improve US-Russia relations. Paul says his stance on Russia is simply about encouraging dialogue.
