This is the spin from Barr's buddies at DOJ - feeding some red meat to the right-wing spin machine, ie:, "blame the media"
I'd like to hear what Mueller has to say about this phone call. At this point these quotes sound like they're continuing Barr's cover up.
President Trump said on Friday that he discussed the “Russian Hoax” with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, in their first conversation since the release of the special counsel’s report, which found that “the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.”
In a pair of midday tweets, Mr. Trump said he and Mr. Putin had a “long and very good conversation” in a phone call that lasted over an hour and covered a wide range of issues, including trade, nuclear arms control, Ukraine, North Korea, and Venezuela.
