Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, explained Trump's new Russia waiver and the Epstein files on her podcast with Kara Swisher. Clinton named three reasons: Trump likes strongmen, wants Russia deals and may fear what Putin holds from the Epstein years.
In plain words, the waiver means buyers of Russian oil and gas will not face the new US tariffs for now. Clinton thinks the last reason, possible photos and videos in Putin's hands, matters a lot. Trump's White House says the waiver simply serves the national interest.
