CIA director was on 'semi routine' mission in Moscow: Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow was "semi-routine," implying that the intelligence chief was in the Russian capital to discuss the Ukraine war.

"He's there, very sort of semi-routine. I hate to disappoint people. We would like to see the war with Ukraine end," Trump said in an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck.
