Trump and Putin met in secret at G-20


US President and Russian President Vladimir Putin, spent about an hour talking privately at a dinner during the G-20 meeting in Europe, according to a source familiar with the meeting.

It happened during the dinner for heads of state when at one point Trump got up from his seat and moved to sit with Putin and Putin's translator.

Why this matters: It's highly unusual for a U.S. president to meet with a Russian leader with only Russian staff present and violates national security protocol (though Trump might not have been aware of that).

Trump Tweets: "Fake News story of secret dinner with Putin is 'sick.' All G 20 leaders, and spouses, were invited by the Chancellor of Germany. Press knew!"
