Washington (CNN) Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Sunday dismissed the claim that fellow 2020 hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is a "Russian asset," saying "there is no basis for that." His comments come after Hillary Clinton accused former 2016 Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein of being a "Russian asset." Gabbard responded to Clinton on Friday, calling the former 2016 Democratic candidate "the queen of warmongers." Gabbard implored the former secretary of state to join the 2020 presidential race. If we're talking about the country of Russia, there is a Russian asset in the White House right now."
