In an apparent slap in the face to the FBI, President Trump welcomed two Russian diplomats into the Oval Office the day after he fired the FBI Director investigating possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia. The American press was not allowed into cover or take photographs of the event, only Russian news agencies were allowed into the Oval Office. Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak were both welcomed by Trump at the request of Vladimir Putin to discuss unknown issues. Both soon to be disgraced General Michael Flynn and soon to be Attorney General Jeff Sessions met with Kislyak before Trump took office. Both Flynn and Sessions initially denied the meetings (even though Sessions met with Kislyak in Session’s own office). Both later confessed to having met with the Russian Ambassador.
