Donald Trump has tried to conceal the notes from the five meetings with Vladimir Putin, according to the Washington Post. Among other things, he should have confiscated the notes from a translator who participated in the meetings.

the New York Times has also revealed that the FBI started an investigation into whether Trump is working for Russian interests. The u.s. intelligence community believed that Trump's behavior when he fired FBI director James Comey was so alarming that they wanted to investigate how his contacts with Russia looked like.
