LONDON — The Kremlin denied on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been in contact with former President Donald Trump since he left office.
“No, it’s not like that,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told a reporter for a Russian news outlet in response to a question about whether the two had shared phone calls.
Journalist Bob Woodward wrote about the alleged interactions between Trump and Putin in his soon-to-be released book, titled “War,” according to the Washington Post and CNN.
Woodward reportedly wrote that the pair shared “as many as seven” phone calls, a claim that Trump disputed on Tuesday.
