| Sen. McCaskill Paid for Dinner at Russian Ambassador's Residence With Funds From Undisclosed Foundation |
| 2017-06-29 |
| [TownHall] Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) used a personal foundation to pay for a dinner she attended at Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak's Washington, D.C., residence. The senator had failed to disclose her role in the foundation until earlier this month. McCaskill's attendance at the dinner was accompanied by an $873 payment to the American-Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation, where Kislyak serves on its board of directors as honorary chairman...The payment to Kislyak's foundation was not made directly by McCaskill--it was made through a foundation, the Shepard Family Foundation, that she set up with her husband Jon Shepard in 2013 but failed to disclose in filings to the Senate ethics committee until three weeks ago. The sudden disclosure of McCaskill's role in the foundation--which had to be inserted into disclosures covering 2014, 2015, and 2016 through amendments on June 6--came as part of an attempt to distance herself from investments in an opioid manufacturer. |

| #4 On March 2, 2017, McCaskill tweeted that she had had "No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever". After her own tweets of January 20, 2013 ("Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador.") and August 6, 2015 ("Today calls with British, Russian, and German Ambassadors") were exposed, McCaskill recanted her tweet of March 2, blaming Twitter's character limit. McCaskill had been a leading critic of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' meetings with Russian government officials in his capacity as United States senator and had been among a chorus of Democrats calling for Sessions' resignation.[54] Wikipedia |

| #3 She should have seen the Clinton Foundation for how to rake in and divert billions in funds and not disclose them. Rank amateur. |

| #1 She also claimed that, unlike those traitorous Republicans, she had never met with the Russian Ambassador. She's a liar and a Democrat, but...I repeat myself |
