Once again, we have the Washington Post peddling fake news about Trump and Russia. More on that here.
Please explain to me how the President of the United States meeting with any foreign leader privately is a scandal. It isn’t. Even if there is a mythical Russia conspiracy floating around.
Also, how is a meeting considered ‘previously undisclosed’ if it was reported on by the media on July 8, 2017?

"Previously undisclosed" second Trump-Putin meeting at G20… reported on 8 July https://t.co/HNhKGUnGm3 pic.twitter.com/mIcuefw3wG

The US president began the meeting by asking Putin directly about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, US officials said. However, Putin denied Russia was responsible, and the two camps would appear to disagree on exactly what was said during the two-hour meeting.
BuzzFeed News understands that the two leaders engaged in another “long chat” right after a G20 dinner on Friday night, according to a source present.
Exactly. It isn’t undisclosed, and the media has known about it for nearly two weeks.
Now, here’s where things get really funny.
Buzzfeed reported on the second meeting at dinner, where everyone who attended G20 was invited, July 8. Now, however, they are claiming it was an ‘undisclosed meeting.’
It takes a special bunch to report on something as being brand new when you reported on it 11 days ago. Par for the course if you are ‘resistance’ media.

President Trump has fired back.
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!

But only they are waging it,” Chang told CNBC. “The question is how do we end it on terms not only advantageous to the United States but also to the international community.”

Coca-Cola says it won’t market soda to children under 12 and does not advertise on children’s television. But a new investigation from the Center for Science in the Public Interest finds that some of the company’s marketing practices are inconsistent with its pledges. #Coke‘s policies bar marketing that “directly” targets children under 12 and in which 35 percent or more of the audience is composed of children under 12. But Coke advertises on family-oriented TV shows, at theme parks, and other venues that reach huge numbers of children. While the company says it won’t use celebrities or characters whose primary appeal is to children under 12, it exempts its own “equity characters” like the Coke polar bears, and it uses Santa Claus in #advertising throughout the world.
