Russia tells US not to release Trump-Putin transcripts 0 SHARES Share it! It showed that Trump asked Zelensky to probe Democratic rival Joe Biden, and Democrats are looking into whether Trump used a delayed $400 million aid package as leverage. Lavrov, who met Friday with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, criticized both US lawmakers and media for the release of the transcript. The US leader has praised Putin and appeared to accept his denials of US intelligence’s finding that Russia meddled in the 2016 election to benefit Trump. An investigation led by former FBI chief Robert Mueller found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
