Bill Cassidy (R-LA) says, adding that “anytime someone gives a $250,000 gift and they have strong ties to the Kremlin, that's wrong.” “And even though…it might be a gift, the appearance of it is really bad,” he tells @margbrennan. “And so, I'm glad it's been repaid. It would be nice to have that kind of verified.”
