Political Cornflakes: Russia gives visa to Sen. Mike Lee after rebuffing other senators

Russia has granted a visa to Utah Sen. Mike Lee for a visit, after rejecting applications from other senators last week. Lee was one of just two senators who opposed sanctions against Russia for cyberattacks in the 2016 presidential election. Lee plans to discuss trade, military relations and religious liberty with Russian officials, as well as meet with former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Russia.
