Kremlin Denies Trump-Putin Calls Post-Presidency

The Kremlin has denied Bob Woodward's claims about former U.S. President Donald Trump having secret conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin after leaving office. Woodward's book suggests Trump may have talked to Putin several times, but these allegations were dismissed by Trump's campaign.

The Kremlin has firmly denied allegations made by American journalist Bob Woodward, suggesting that former U.S. President Donald Trump held numerous secret phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin after his presidency ended. These claims were reported by RBC on Wednesday.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated categorically, 'No, that's not true,' when queried about the supposed interactions. Woodward's book, 'War,' suggests Trump facilitated a private call with Putin at Mar-a-Lago in early 2024, as summarized by The Washington Post.

Although the publication did not specify the contents of the purported discussions, skepticism was expressed by a Trump campaign official. The New York Times reported that Trump's campaign dismissed Woodward's narrative as fabricated.
