To no one's surprise.
(from WaPo)
Russia bans 963 Americans, including Biden and Harris — but not Trump
https://archive.ph/YMSUK(from WaPo)
Unbeleivable.The list appears to include major officials from the Biden administration, such as Harris,
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
The president’s son, Hunter Biden, is also named, as is former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Saturday.
One prominent name missing from the list: former president Donald Trump. In fact, the
only prominent Trump administration official included in the ban is former secretary of state Mike Pompeo.
The Russian Foreign Ministry’s list of 963 Americans includes many members of Congress,
including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.)
and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is not on the list. Also not listed is Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.),
who delayed a Senate vote on aid for Ukraine last week when he was the only senator to object. The Senate
passed the measure this week, and Biden signed the $40 billion package of new military and humanitarian
assistance to Ukraine into law on Saturday while visiting Seoul.
