Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is "nothing but a propagandist" for "a stooge of a thug and a murderer," Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he "had no business in the Oval Office," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Sunday.

"Mr. Lavrov is the stooge of a thug and a murderer who used Russian precision weapons to strike hospitals in Aleppo, who has committed human rights issues all over the place," McCain told "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace.

McCain rebuked President Donald Trump's meeting with Lavrov amid the probes into Russia's meddling in the U.S. election and potential Trump campaign collusion.

President Trump is frustrated being "hamstrung" in finding ways to work with Russia amid these probes, classified leaks, and "fake news" reports of collusion, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told ABC's "This Week" earlier Sunday.
