That's a pretty big deal, especially given that Trump, members of his family, members of his administration, and various associates are currently under investigation by multiple individuals and agencies for possible collusion with Russia during said election.
But it would be understandable if you weren't really considering the enormous implications of all of that today, since very few of our major news outlets are leading with these critical facts.
Why are people pretending Putin and Trump are competing instead of collaborating? https://t.co/8c1ww5QKIe

NB today how many news stories on the Trump-Putin meeting fail to *centrally* disclose investigations into TrumpCo and potential collusion.

Indeed, it's the most relevant fact to any story on the Trump/Putin meeting. It should be the lede in every article about it.

Every damn headline and/or lede should note Trump is meeting w/ the foreign leader who directed election meddling to Trump's favor. Period.

Why they aren't is a question I strongly urge you to consider.
By the way:
Just in: Trump - Putin meeting still underway, longer than expected, scheduled for 40 minutes, now 90 mins and counting
