About that secretive phone call

Our only information on yesterday's Trump-Putin phone call comes from the Kremlin. And not much at that.

How is that right? Where are the investigations?

The Kremlin says Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a telephone conversation initiated by the Russian side, has thanked U.S. President Donald Trump "for information transmitted via the special services that helped prevent the commission of terrorist acts in Russia."

There was no immediate confirmation from the U.S. side.

The call also reportedly included discussion of "a set of issues of mutual interest," according to the official Kremlin website.

Both leaders, Putin's office said, agreed "to continue bilateral cooperation in the fight against terrorism."

No other details were provided.

"Issues of mutual interest."

In August, the Kremlin said in a statement that Trump offered Putin help in fighting vast wildfires in Siberia. The phone conversation had taken place on the “initiative of the American side,” the Kremlin added. The White House later confirmed the two leaders’ conversation.

And in 2017, photos from Trump‘s first Oval Office meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of Russia surfaced online from the Kremlin. The meeting had been closed to the American media.

Lavrov had another a closed-door Oval Office meeting with Trump earlier this month — on the day House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against him. Afterward, Trump praised the “very good meeting“ in a tweet, saying the two had discussed “election meddling.“ But at a news conference at the Russian Embassy, Lavrov wouldn‘t answer that claim directly, suggesting only that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had raised the issue during a separate meeting.
