Are These Trump Calls to Putin and MBS on the Secret Server Too?

The intelligence whistleblower states that White House lawyers moved the transcript of Trump’s phone call to Zelensky to a stand alone secret server in the White House. This was done as part of the coverup. But the whistleblower also states that this is NOT the only time this abuse of intelligence classification was done. There are other Trump phone calls to world leaders on that secret server. And here are just a few of the phone calls that Trump made in 2019:

On May 4th, Trump initiated a 1.5 hour phone call with Putin.

President Donald Trump initiated a lengthy call with his Russian counterpart on Friday, in which Vladimir Putin urged sanctions relief for North Korea and warned against interference in Venezuela, the Russian embassy in Washington said.

The leaders’ call lasted for 1.5 hours, according to a post on the embassy’s Facebook page, and the pair discussed a “shared commitment to step up dialogue in various areas, including on issues of strategic stability.” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday the leaders spoke for more than an hour.

....We discussed Trade, Venezuela, Ukraine, North Korea, Nuclear Arms Control and even the “Russian Hoax.” Very productive talk!

I would bet that the transcripts of Putin and MBS conversations would be a lot more damning than the Ukraine one. And Putin has come out in the past few days threatening that call transcripts between him and Trump better not be released.
