White House reportedly restricted access to comments in 2017 meeting, allowing only a few officials to see transcript
The White House reportedly restricted access to comments that Donald Trump made in a 2017 Oval Office meeting with two senior Russian officials, concealing that he told them he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 US election, according to the Washington Post.
The new claims concerning the details of the 10 May 2017 meeting emerged on Friday as the White House continues to reel from the fallout from a whistleblower complaint, which accused Trump of pressuring the Ukrainian president to investigate the son of Trump’s potential 2020 rival Joe Biden.
That complaint has cast intense scrutiny on the White House’s classification of records of Trump’s communications with foreign officials. The whistleblower claimed that the official transcript of Trump’s 25 July call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky was placed into a highly secured system reserved for the most sensitive intelligence information.
