As questions heated up, Putin signaled to someone for a soccer ball. A swift passing combination began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin received a commemorative match ball from a throw-in off camera. He distributed the ball to Trump. \u201cI\u2019ll give this ball to you and now the ball is in your court,\u201d Putin said. With possession of the ball, Trump paused. \u201cThat will go to my son Barron,\u201d the American president said. He forwarded the ball to his wife, who was sitting in the front row. \u201cMelania, here you go.\u201d The ball appeared to bounce harmlessly on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-SC., the swift passing combination may deserve a yellow card. \u201cI\u2019d check the soccer ball for listening devices and never allow it in the White House,\u201d he warned on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent history is littered with examples of when the Kremlin has bugged American officials. In 1945, the American ambassador to Moscow was presented with a wood carving of the seal of the United States. A listening device was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cryptomuseum.com\/covert\/bugs\/thing\/index.htm\">discovered<\/a> inside the seal seven years later. Russian bugs have also been discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/08\/23\/us\/spyhunter-russia-bug-us-state-department-declassified\/index.html\">inside the State Department<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2017\/05\/22\/donald-trump-russia-soviet-union-spying-congress-bug-215174\">on Capitol Hill<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/russia-planted-bugged-thumb-drives-to-break-into-us-govt-computers-2017-3\">and attached to flash drives.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump White House has been a target for intelligence officials. The Department of Homeland Security announced earlier this year there was evidence of eavesdropping equipment near the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House did not respond to questions regarding the fate of the soccer ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During their summit in Finland, Vladimir Putin gave Donald Trump a commemorative World Cup soccer ball.
