Woodward describes one incident where Trump instructed a senior aide to leave the room so he could have a private call with Putin.
Journalist Bob Woodward's new book says Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly continued to interact after the former president left office.The book, called War, alleges Trump and Putin have had as many as seven phone calls since early 2021 and that Trump asked one aide to leave the room so they could speak.
Woodward further noted that Biden's Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines 'carefully hedged' when asked about any post-presidency communications between Trump and Putin.'I would not purport to be aware of all contacts with Putin. I wouldn't purport to speak to what President Trump may or may not have done,' Haines said, according to Woodward.
