Kremlin confirms Trump sent COVID-19 tests to Putin during pandemic
The Hill ^ | 10/09/2024 | Laura Kelly

The Kremlin confirmed that former President Trump while in office sent Russian President Vladimir Putin COVID-19 testing devices during the height of the pandemic, as was revealed in a new book by journalist Bob Woodward, Bloomberg reported.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that the tests had been sent but he also denied the book’s claims that the two leaders had spoken by phone several times since Trump left office, Bloomberg reported.

“We also sent equipment at the beginning of the pandemic,” Peskov said in a written response to the news site when asked about the book. “But about the phone calls — it’s not true.”

Woodward’s book, “War,” detailed how Trump in 2020 sent Abbott COVID-19 testing devices to Putin and kept the delivery quiet at the Russian leader’s request, according to CNN.

Steven Cheung, the communications director for Trump’s presidential election campaign, denied the book’s claims, calling them “made up stories” and “not true.”

Woodward has been living off the laurels of Watergate for far too long. This was probably one of the small scale “October Surprises”, but the reality is this OS and whatever bigger ones they may have aren’t going to amount to anything. People are tired of this garbage every presidential election from the Democrats!

Obama gave Iran pallets of American cash. Biden released billions to Iran, but Trump gave a couple COVID tests away.

So what? Putin is only an enemy when democrats run things. He is their go to boogieman to use as cover for their own foul activity.

Democrats have increased the amount of enemies quite a bit in the last few years and have pushed those enemies into supporting each other.

Harris (aka, ‘Tard Two) says Trump is enamored with “strongmen”. Perhaps, but Harris as president would just blow thrm off (so to speak).

Yeah? So what? World’s second most (ostensibly) power at the time and its leader requests tests (what the hell does “devices” mean).

China, BIG PHARMA and NIH/NIAID’s FAUCI are responsible for the disease’s outbreak, where’s ole Schlomo Woodward on that bit?

“I lucked into the Watergate Story” Woodward just needs to step on off the ash pile of history and STFU.

Watergate was always a convoluted nothing story

The outrageous scandals this Woodward guy has been excusing since then prove that

Those two idiots lucked up on Watergate. Spoon fed to them by Deep Throat but lauded as some kind of exquisite journalists.

A couple of hacks and that Woodward is just exasperating. Sometimes I wish somebody would slap him upside the head and make him spit out what he wants to say faster.

‘Plumbers,’ oppo-research and hijinks. All pretty kindergarten stuff compared to current Democrat stuff like two assassination attempts, stealing elections, encouraging and allowing illegals to vote and obscenely prolific lawfare retribution.
