Kremlin Spokesperson Dimitri Peskov with Vladimir Putin

From The Hill:

The Kremlin confirmed that former President Trump while in office sent Russian President Vladimir Putin COVID-19 testing devices during the height of the pandemic, as was revealed in a new book by journalist Bob Woodward,Bloomberg reported.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that the tests had been sent but he also denied the book’s claims that the two leaders had spoken by phone several times since Trump left office, Bloomberg reported.

…

Steven Cheung, the communications director for Trump’s presidential election campaign, denied the book’s claims, calling them “made up stories” and “not true.”

It’s hilarious that the Kremlin put this out moments after the Trump Campaign denied the salacious revelations in Bob Woodward’s new book. 
 

Wondered how @FoxNews was covering fact that Donald Trump sent Vladmir Putin, not just scarce COVID tests, but COVID testing machines hospitals desperately wanted, during early days of pandemic.

Surprise. They aren't covering it, at all.

Even though the Kremlin confirmed it.

Why would Putin do this to his BFF Trump? Doesn’t he want him to win? He surely does, but the impulse to humiliate Trump the moron narcissist was likely too strong.

Tell us more, Kremlin!

Bob Woodward: “Trump sent to Putin scarce COVID testing equipment American hospitals needed during the pandemic.”

Donald Trump: “THAT’S A DIRTY LIE BY SOMEONE WHO HAS LOST HIS MIND!!!!!”

Kremlin: “Yeah, it happened.”
