President Trump reportedly met late last year with Russian President Vladimir Putin without a translator or aide from his administration present.

The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Trump sat with Putin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 (G-20) summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in late November after an evening event.

Trump was joined by his wife Melania Trump, but there was no note-taker or translator from the U.S. at the meeting. Putin was reportedly accompanied by a translator, with all four at a table.

A Russian government official told the Financial Times that the talk lasted about 15 minutes and included discussions about the Syrian conflict and a clash days earlier between Russian forces and the Ukrainian navy. Trump and Putin also talked about the potential for a formal meeting, the official said.

This is the smoking gun. Total trust in Vladimir Putin's interpreter, no trust at all in our people. Trump has proven he doesn't care who runs the show...And for those who don't believe it, ...............................

He can't tolerate a divorce from Malaria. She cannot testify against *her husband*. But if Cheetolini becomes he Ex-, then she can testify.

Oooh girl! You got a lock on this guy - squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!

But he holds the privilege re: confidential communications between the two of them. If he wanted to keep that confidential, she couldn't testify.

She could testify, if she wants to, about what went on in this meeting with people outside the marriage. That wasn't confidential.

I believe that if they were committing a crime together, she could also testify about that if she wanted to.
