Sen. Chris Murphy Criticizes Trump Administration as Aligning with Kremlin

Murphy's remarks follow a contentious Oval Office meeting between Trump, Zelensky, and U.S. officials on the Ukraine conflict.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) accused the White House of echoing 'Kremlin talking points' during an interview on CNN's 'State of the Union.'
The criticism came after a tense Oval Office meeting on Friday involving President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and Vice President J.D. Vance.
Murphy expressed concern over the U.S. appearing to distance itself from democratic allies while aligning closer to Russia under Trump's leadership.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) defended Trump’s approach, describing it as an effort to broker peace by engaging both sides of the conflict.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) also criticized Zelensky, suggesting he either resign or change his approach to U.S. relations.
