Russian Ambassador Visited Obama White House Nearly Two Dozen Times
...
The Russian ambassador who met with then-Sen. Jeff Sessions also happened to be a recurring guest at the Obama White House.
In fact, Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, whose interactions with Sessions have led Democrats to call for the attorney general’s resignation, visited the White House 22 times, and even as recently as September 2016.
Kislyak had a meeting with John Holdren, one of Obama’s senior advisers, as well as Marina W. Gross, Alexander Ermolaev, Alexey Lopatin, Vyacheslav Balakirev, and Sergey Sarazhinskiy.
Kislyak met with National Security Council senior official Gary Samore on weapons of mass destruction four times during Obama’s first term. The ambassador also meet three times with Obama’s senior adviser Robert Malley on defeating the Islamic State (IS). Kislyak also paid the visitor’s office four visits.
Kislyak is listed an additional 12 times among other visitors for events like “holiday open houses” or “diplomatic corps reception.”
The logs were released by the Obama White House as a push for transparency in his administration.
