Do US authorities have a right to know everything the POTUS says or is said to him?

When he is having official talks with another head of state? I should hope so.

Doesn't really seem to me that he needed to manipulate anything. He just had to agree to meet with Trump. :hmm:

Yep, let's not go overboard and elevate Putin to superhuman status. Same for Murdoch who seems to be the left's version of George Soros the supervillain

When those talks are personal and confidential? Seems weird to me, but I don't know US law.

The whole "checks and balances" thing needs a boost at this point.

Trump would see that as Eastern European prostitutes and something for weighing cocaine.

So Trump had an interpreter at the closed door session with Putin, if this guy's American and/or within US jurisdiction, then no amount of NDA legalise will protect him from being question by US authorities. Unless translators have some sort of legal privileged position that I've not heard about?

Do US authorities have a right to know everything the POTUS says or is said to him?

I don't know, but this interpreter could have been witness/party to a  criminal conspiracy.:unsure:

Two congressmen thought something similar:

BREAKING: @RepSwalwell and I just made a motion in House Intel Committee to subpoena the American interpreter during the summit — the only witness to Trump's meeting with Putin. This is an extraordinary remedy, but Trump's actions necessitate it.

Republicans voted it down.

QuoteTrump Didn't Know The Apprentice Was About Apprenticeships Until Today

By Adam K. Raymond

For 14 seasons, Donald Trump hosted The Apprentice, the reality show that gave millions of Americans the false impression that he is a business genius. But it was only today, July 19, 2018, that he realized what the title of the show meant.

Speaking to a crowd at a White House event called Pledge to America's Workers, Trump came across a line in the prepared text that included the word apprenticeships. Then he went off script: "That's an interesting word for me to be saying, right? The Apprentice. I never actually put that together until just now," he said.

The self-proclaimed "very stable genius" with "one of the highest" IQs then turned to his daughter: "Isn't that strange, Ivanka, I never associated, but here we are."
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

CNN quotes a Thursday poll by CBS that 68% of Republicans approve of how Trump handled the summit with Putin.

A drop of 20 percent from their normal approval of him
