In a tweet, Trump confirms that he spoke with his boss about the Mueller report today, saying that he had a “long and very good” talk with Mr. Putin and that the two leaders discussed geopolitical issues, along with what he termed the “Russian hoax.”

When asked by a reporter if Trump told Putin not to interfere in the 2020 elections, Trump called the reporter "very rude," and tried to move on but was asked the same thing again by multiple reporters. Trump said, "We didn't talk about that."

Trump: "Putin kind of smiled" and said the Mueller report “started off as a mountain and it ended up a mouse.”

Trump then called a reporter "very rude" for asking if he told Putin not to interfere in 2020 and said, "We didn't talk about that."
