Russia says it hopes US wouldn't release Trump-Putin calls
A spokesperson for the Kremlin expressed concern that the U.S. could publish transcripts of calls between President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin following the publication this week of a readout of a call between Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Associated Press reported that a Kremlin spokesperson told reporters on a press call that such an action could harm already "troubled" U.S.-Russia relations.
“We would like to hope that it wouldn’t come to that in our relations, which are already troubled by a lot of problems," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
“The materials related to conversations between heads of states are usually classified according to normal international practice,” he added.
A spokeswoman for Russia's foreign ministry also reportedly ripped into Democrats including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), accusing them of turning the U.S. into a laughingstock.

Trump said it was because he told a joke.
They laughed when he said his administration had done more for America than any administration before him.
