The Washington Post previously reported that Trump had spoken with Putin after he won the U.S. election.
The Kremlin has denied that Russian President Vladimir Putin and President-elect Donald Trump had spoken in the days following Trump’s election win, disputing reports in Western media outlets.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov altogether denied the reports.
“There was no conversation,” Peskov said in remarks published by Russia’s state-sponsored TASS news agency on Nov. 11.
“This is completely untrue; it’s pure fiction.”
The Epoch Times contacted the Trump team for comment on the reports of a post-election call but did not receive a response by publication time.
