Top Republican lawmakers are unfazed by reports that President Trump has “gone to extraordinary lengths” to conceal his conversations with Vladimir Putin.
Top Republican lawmakers appeared unfazed Sunday by reports that President Donald Trump has “gone to extraordinary lengths” to conceal his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the last two years.
The Washington Post reported over the weekend that Trump has repeatedly sought to hide his interactions with Putin, often one of the main U. S. adversaries in international affairs. According to the story, Trump’s actions included “taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials,” such as former National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster.
As a result, U. S. officials told the Post, there exists “no detailed record, even in classified files,” of Trump’s meetings with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years.
