from TPM:
Trumps Meeting With Russian Officials Was Closed To Media Except Russias
Donald Trumps meeting Wednesday morning with two top Russian officials was closed to all press except, apparently, the Russian state news agency TASS.
Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, along with Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak.
The Lavrov meeting was closed to the press and the only visual account we have of it thus far is via handout photos from the Russian government, The Hills Jordan Fabian wrote in a pool report Wednesday morning. Those images show Trump also met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Gizmodos Matt Novak noted on Twitter that Getty wire images of the meeting were credited to TASS, which is commonly described as state-run or state-owned.
