Russian Spy Traitor Trump has concealed details of his face-to-face encounters with Putin from senior officials in administration

Resident Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said.

Trump did so after a meeting with Putin in 2017 in Hamburg that was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. U.S. officials learned of Trump’s actions when a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought information from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson.

The constraints that Trump imposed are part of a broader pattern by the president of shielding his communications with Putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries.

Jesse talks about the latest reporting from the New York Times and the Washington Post which reveals that not only has Donald Trump gone to great lengths to keep secret (even from the United States Intelligence community) the content of his private conversations with Vladimir Putin, but that in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey, the FBI opened a counter intelligence probe into Donald Trump to determine whether or not he was a witting/unwitting Russian intel asset.
