america until a meeting with vladimir putin the other day brought up the treatment of gay people in chechnya's witnesses in russia. that's something that is sort of putting human rights in the conversation is something america should do? >> if we don't stand for human rights as a fundamental principle that doesn't mean it's the only principle, but it is a fundamental principle, then we're no different than any other country. >> do you think president trump has that opinion? >> i hope so. i know he was deeply moved by the chemical weapons use and the pictures of the dead children that -- as a result of bashar al assad's use of chemical weapons and i believe that was the motivation for the cruise missile strike. >> he has said it would be an honor to sit down with kim jong-un. >> i know. >> he invited the president of the philippines, duterte, to the white house. >> i do not understand the comment about the north korean crazy dictator who is capable of cruelty that we can only imagine. >> it shouldn't be an honor to sit down with him? >> no. no, it should not be an honor. in fact i wouldn't si

. >> with minister loveroff, can that include anything of violence in chechnya against people and the lbgt community? was the president not informed on the issue? >> i'm sorry. >> is the reason that wasn't included in the readout is the president isn't familiar with the reports of anti-gay violence? >> look, there are parts of the conversation that aren't specifically included in a readout, but i'm not aware. i haven't had that conversation. i don't know. i wasn't part of that have meeting so i can't speak to every detail and i'd have to refer you to the readout on the specifics of what i know was discussed. >> has the president been briefed on this issue generally. >> that's something i'll have to get back to you on. >> you said you want the russia investigation to continue at doj. is the white house opposed to the appointment of a special prosecutor to continue to looking into this investigation. >> >> we don't think it's necessary. you've got at house commit, a senate committee and the department of justice all working on this. i don't think that there's a necessary need at this po

we've seen recently in pro- russian area of chechnya hell lgbt men have been rounded up and put in jail. in our own hemisphere, even as we stand now, we see horrifying human rights violations. dozens of people who have been in jail for upwards of three years, ignoring the constitution of that country. there are people in jail in cuba, people being rounded up in cuba, people being suppressed. i believe they are deserving of freedom and democracy just like the people in dominica republic and haiti and columbia. why are cubans any less worthy of those basic freedoms. what i've ask you this share with the committee is what you shared with me on the issue of human rights. this is not just an issue of academic interest. in your own family and through marriage you actually have a gentleman who experienced the horrifying violation of human rights who experienced being jailed by an oppressive regime and who is a floridian. you shared that story with me, and to me it's very important because it tells me we have someone here before us who understand human rights and oppression not because he read
