Trump: US will not hand over Erdoğan foe for Turkey

Source: The Hill



BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 11/17/18 09:16 AM EST

President Trump on Saturday rejected reports that his administration is considering extraditing a foe of Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan.

Trump told reporters at the White House before leaving for a trip to California that extraditing exiled Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen was "not under consideration."

He added that “we’re having a very good moment with Turkey,” referring Erdogan’s release of American pastor Andrew Brunson last month, and said the U.S. is always looking for "whatever we can do for Turkey."

NBC News reported Thursday said that the Trump White House had directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI to reexamine a request from Turkey to extradite Gülen.

Reminds me of the fervor over the guy who wrote a book that said less than flattering stuff about Mohammad. They are still hunting for the guy for speaking his mind. Flynn knew better. He was a General for this great country. His treason/sedition is especially grave. imo.

This issue is so urgent because Trump is getting worse and worse. In 2017, he averaged three false claims per day. In 2018, it is about nine per day. In the month leading up to the midterms: a staggering 26 per day. By my count, he’s now at 3,749 false claims since his inauguration. The Post, which tracks both false and misleading claims, has tallied up to 6,420.
