'Russia has recordings': Ex-FBI agent says Trump's Putin calls mean more 'leverage' on him

Former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa pointed out that the Kremlin likely has recordings of recently-reported calls between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to journalist Bob Woodward, Trump has had as many as seven phone calls with Putin since leaving office in 2021. The former U.S. president went so far as to reportedly provide COVID-19 tests to the Russian dictator.

"The thing no one is talking about with regard to Trump's Pooty calls over the last several years is that not only do we not know what they talked about," Rangappa wrote Wednesday, "it's almost certain that Russia has recordings of them."

"Which means they have leverage," she added.

The Kremlin confirmed that Trump sent Putin COVID-19 test machines but also denied that the two men talked on the phone.
