VLADIMIR Putin brought an attractive translator along to the G20 summit to distract Donald Trump, a former White House official has alleged.
Stephanie Grisham, an ex-White House secretary, made the bombshell claim in her new book "I'll Take Your Questions Now, What I Saw at Trump White House".
In the book, Grisham told how Fiona Hill - the former administration's Russia expert - believed Putin had brought an attractive aide to the G20 summit in Japan in 2019 in a bid to throw Trump off, according to the New York Times.
"As the meeting began, Fiona Hill leaned over and asked me if I had noticed Putin's translator," Grisham recounted.
"...Who was a very attractive brunette woman with long hair, a pretty face, and a wonderful figure.
"She proceeded to tell me that she suspected the woman had been selected by Putin specifically to distract our president."
The interpreter, seen in the picture of Putin and Trump shaking hands in Osaka, has been identified as 36-year-old Daria Boyarskaya.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov hit back at the report, denying any role for Putin in selecting Boyarskaya, a keen dancer, as a secret weapon.

"Interpreters are provided by the foreign ministry at the request of the presidential administration,” Peskov said.
“Putin himself is not involved in this process.”
Grisham also claimed that former President Trump called her immediately after porn star Stormy Daniels detailed the shape of his penis in a 2018 book.
"I lay there, annoyed that I was getting f***ed by a guy with Yeti pubes and a d*** like the mushroom character in Mario Kart," Daniels wrote.
Upon hearing the allegation, Trump called Grisham to assure her that his penis was not shaped like a toadstool or small, the former aide claimed in her book.
Also revealed in the tell-all book, was the time Trump called Grisham into his office on Air Force One in front of an unnamed press aide so he could "look at her [behind]" and when he asked her former boyfriend Max Miller if she was good in bed.
Grisham first worked with Melania Trump as an aide during the 2016 campaign before she was promoted to White House press secretary communications director in July 2019.
The following April she returned to the East Wing where she served as the First Lady's spokesperson again.
During her time as press secretary, Grisham never held a press conference.
In the past, Putin has been accused of making plays with foreign leaders.
