U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a second, previously undisclosed conversation during a dinner for G20 leaders at a summit earlier this month in Germany, a White House official confirmed on Tuesday.

The two leaders held a formal two-hour bilateral meeting on July 7 in which Trump later said Putin denied allegations that he directed efforts to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The White House official did not say how long the second meeting took place or what was discussed.....

Putin speaks fluent German and so does Melania.

I'm betting Merkel is pi**** that she didn't get to sit near Putin. They are not enemies....except in Merkel's pretend world. They remain huge trading partners despite all the sanctions.

You’d think so...

It’s time to put the media on notice... and tell them how ridiculous they are and ridicule them for not being able to do mature reporting. Laugh at them and then change the subject with what is important. don’t participate in their trivial minded broken record.

I am so totally sick of the childish rusha rusha,, I can’t listen to any Fox person who is still stuck on that subject.. IT’S SO STUPID to hear so called adults ruminate this every day all day... There’s nothing wrong with talking to putin... shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Television coverage of the dinner showed that first lady Melania Trump was seated next to Putin.
Now if that’s not rock solid proof of collusion, I don’t know what it. Melania is in on it, too.”

Well FWIW, Melania is fluent in German and so is Putin, so they could carry on a conversation. Don’t know Trump’s linguistic skills.

entire world FakeNewsMSM is running with this “story”.

meanwhile from the following:

Breitbart: “Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer ... first reported the meeting in a note sent to clients, according to Reuters...Bremmer, who is a critic of Trump, recently told Bloomberg’s Charlie Rose, “Never in my life as a political scientist have I seen two countries — major countries — with a constellation of national interests that are as dissonant, while the two leaders seem to be doing everything possible to make nice and be close to each other.”

18 Jul: Breitbart: Kristina Wong: FAKE NEWS: White House Calls Idea of ‘Second Meeting’ Between Trump and Putin ‘False, Malicious and Absurd’
However, the White House quickly sent out a lengthy statement explaining what actually occurred, and calling the idea there was a second meeting “false, malicious and absurd.”
Here’s the White House’s statement in full: READ IT ALL

(INCLUDES: “Each couple was allowed ONE translator. The American translator accompanying President Trump spoke Japanese. When President Trump spoke to President Putin, the two leaders used the Russian translator, since the American translator did not speak Russian.”
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/07/18/fake-news-white-house-calls-idea-of-second-meeting-between-trump-and-putin-false-malicious-and-absurd/

howeer, MSM is now choosing just a few words from the White House statement in order to continue with the original Fake storyline, even in the once-conservative UK Telegraph, where they can’t even explain each leader was allowed just one translator!

19 Jul: UK Telegraph: Harriet Alexander: Donald Trump blasts ‘sick’ reports of undisclosed meeting with Vladimir Putin at G20
It emerged on Tuesday that the pair had a second discussion, lasting about an hour, during a dinner for the Group of 20 heads of state and their spouses in Hamburg...
It was not clear what was said during the meeting, which lasted for roughly an hour, said Ian Bremmer, the president of political risk consultancy Eurasia Group, who was first to report the encounter in a note to clients.
That Mr Trump was not joined in the conversation by his own translator raised eyebrows among other leaders at the dinner, said Mr Bremmer, who called it a “breach of national security protocol.”

A White House official told Reuters the pair had “just a brief conversation” not a “second meeting”.
The two men used Putin’s Russian translator for their chat because the American translator did not speak Russian, the official said...
Mr Bremmer said the US president got up from his seat halfway through dinner and spent about an hour talking “privately and animatedly” with Mr Putin.

Leaders who reported the meeting to him, Mr Bremmer said, were “bemused, non-plussed , befuddled” by the animated conversation, held in full view — but not listening distance — of others present.
The undisclosed meeting it will add to concerns about transparency from a White House which has bridled at press scrutiny - now all but abandoning the tradition of daily on-camera press briefings, and chaffing against the traditional “pool” of reporters following the president around.

Furthermore, the timing is deeply embarrassing for the White House as it struggles to deal with allegations of Russian meddling in the election, and secret meetings between the Trump campaign and Kremlin-linked figures...

I’m sure a transcript will surface with something like “I’ll have more flexibility right after I check with odumbo”. Or something like that. /S

He actually said, “Vlad, will you please pass the butter?” The expert, Bremen, assures NYTimes and CNN that this was code for:”Can you help me out again in 2020?”

In the 1943 Big Three Teheran Conference FDR not only willingly agreed to use Stalin’s translator in their one on ones, he agreed that he and his close advisers shoulx stay in the Soviet Embassy there because of a bogus intel of a Nazi assasination attempt and the UZ embasdy was nof secure.
