Bipartisan Senate Group Pushes ‘Crushing’ Punishments to Thwart Russia

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, July 31, 2018. In one of the biggest efforts to date by Congress to wrestle back some authority to shape foreign policy, Graham and a bipartisan group of senators have introduced legislation to impose “crushing” new punishments on President Vladimir Putin of Russia and end the White House’s authority to leave NATO.
