"The only public event on President Trump’s calendar the day after he fired FBI Director James Comey amid an ongoing investigation into his campaign’s ties with Russian officials was a White House meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. American media was banned from covering the event. Russian journalists, however, were not, so the American public was able to see images of the meeting thanks to Russia’s state-run press."
