Trump and Putin May Have Met More Times Says Russias Sergei Lavro

Source: NBC News


MOSCOW — President Donald Trump may have held more meetings with Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit earlier this month, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday — but he shrugged off the importance of the encounters.

“They might have met even much more than just three times,” he told NBC News’ Keir Simmons in an exclusive interview, dismissing speculation about the leaders' meetings.

“After the dinner was over…I was not there…President Trump apparently went to pick up his wife and spent some minutes with President Putin…so what?” he said.

to receive his marching orders from Putin and the Kremlin overlords.

Thanks a pantload Republicans, for dumping this immoral traitor on the USA. History will note your rancid betrayal of the USA.

These folks crack me up with the twitter handles.

Drumpf doesn't understand that these folks will throw HIM under the bus in a hot minute.

His contempt for 'the press' - and apparently anyone on the planet who questions their authority to do whatever they want - is mimicked in toto by Trump and his minions.

The sad and frightful thing is, this is what his core base wants.

There was the 2-hour convo with Lavrov and Tillerson present, the 1-hr private meeting at dinner that was just revealed... what does he mean by a third?

Is this a bit of blackmail going on - putting Con in Chief on notice that he's about to get punked by Putin again?

whether Putin didn't play a role in the idea of running for office. One doesn’t launder billions without having some form of contact with the Boss.
