President Trump concealed details about encounters with Russian President Vladimir Putin from officials in his administration on multiple occasions, current and former U.S. officials told the The Washington Post in a report published on Saturday.
The Post reported that there is reportedly a lack of detailed records on five of Trump’s face-to-face meetings with Putin.
On one occasion, Trump reportedly took notes on an encounter from his own interpreter and directed a linguist not to discuss the meeting with other officials in his administration.

The Post highlighted a 2017 meeting in Hamburg between the two presidents where a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought for information beyond a prepared readout.

The President’s conversations with an enemy leader are not a personal matter. This is insane. https://t.co/lGERMIKedq

Trump tonight told Pirro that he'd be totally comfortable with anyone hearing what he said to Putin. So perhaps he should tell Congress that they are free to interview the interpreter in a closed and classified hearing. pic.twitter.com/pTqZyGbrdg

And anyone who's sat with an interpreter can tell you that their notes are like personal hieroglyphics that won't mean much to anyone else. https://t.co/tbsnlJaEEi
