Trump, Putin discuss Mueller probe in first conversation since report’s release

President Trump on Friday spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin in their first known conversation since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

In a pair of tweets, Trump called the discussion “very productive” and said a variety of issues came up, including what the president called “the Russian Hoax.”

“Had a long and very good conversation with President Putin of Russia. As I have always said, long before the Witch Hunt started, getting along with Russia, China, and everyone is a good thing, not a bad thing,” Trump wrote roughly an hour after the call was first announced.
