Russian Foreign Minister Has Second Oval Office Meeting With Trump

On Tuesday in Washington, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo joined President Trump for a closed Oval Office meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The exclusion of the American press was notable due to past controversies involving Lavrov's visits. Prior to the Oval Office meeting, Pompeo and Lavrov discussed issues like Syria, the Iran nuclear deal, and North Korean denuclearization. The meetings coincided with a Justice Department report finding no partisan bias in the FBI's Russian election meddling investigation. Lavrov denied Russian involvement in U.S. domestic issues. The meeting also followed the announcement of impeachment articles against President Trump, partly due to his interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
