@abcnews: Former Pres. Trump on Tuesday declined to say if he's been in touch with Russian Pres. Putin since he left the White House — but said it would have been smart if he had. "I will tell you that if I did, it's a smart thing," Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief John Micklethwait at the Chicago Economic Club. In his new book, journalist Bob Woodward reportedly writes that Trump sent a COVID-19 testing kit to Putin at a point in the pandemic when tests were in short supply — and that, after Putin received the kit, he told Trump: "I don't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me." #news #donaldtrump
