Trump and Putin spoke by phone about the Mueller report and decided that the Russia investigation is over.
Trump And Putin Collude To Decide No Collusion
Sanders said Friday the Mueller report was brought up “essentially in the context that it’s over and there was no collusion, which I’m pretty sure both leaders were both very well aware of long before this call took place.”
She would not directly answer questions from reporters on whether Russian interference, as shown in the Mueller report, was discussed between Trump and Putin, only saying, “the conversation on that part was very quick, but what I can tell you is that this administration, unlike the previous one, takes election meddling seriously. And we’re going to do everything that we can to prevent it from happening. That’s why we’ve taken a whole-of-government approach.”

Trump Thinks He’s Off The Hook, So He Is Back To Openly Conspiring With Putin
Trump thinks that he is in the clear, so he has gone back to his old ways of conspiring with Putin out in the open. Yes, the President Of The United States really did call Putin and have a friendly chat with a hostile foreign power who he is still under investigation for criminal activity with to decide that everyone is in the clear and all is well.
Adam Schiff is going to have a field day with this latest development. Trump needs Putin if he has any hope of winning in 2020, so he is already greasing the wheels for more Russian election interference in 2020.
