Bob Woodward's New book says Trump Secretly Sent Covid Test Kits to Putin, Harris Latches Onto Claim With the upcoming elections intensifying scrutiny on former US President Donald Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, veteran journalist Bob Woodward's new book, *War*, reveals claims that Trump secretly communicated with Putin seven times since leaving office in 2021. Woodward details an incident where Trump reportedly asked an aide to leave his Mar-a-Lago office during a private call with Putin. He also asserts that Trump sent Covid-19 testing equipment to Putin amid a US shortage, a move Putin allegedly requested to keep under wraps to avoid backlash.As *War* releases on October 15, the political landscape heats up, with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris criticising Trump's ties to Putin. Biden condemned Trump's handling of the pandemic, while Harris labelled it a disgrace that he sent testing kits to "a murderous dictator" during a crisis.In response, Trump’s campaign dismissed Woodward's claims as fabrications, with campaign director Steven Cheung calling him a “total sleazebag.” The Kremlin, meanwhile, labelled the allegations as a “typical bogus story” amidst the pre-election fervour. The book adds to the narrative of Russian interference in US politics, a topic that continues to resonate in contemporary discourse.
