Overview
- Hotel guests at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage found eight pages of State Department protocol documents in a public printer hours before the Trump–Putin summit.
- The materials outlined meeting schedules, precise room assignments, seating charts, phone numbers for U.S. and Russian staff, a three-course lunch menu and a gift presentation of an American bald eagle desk statue.
- White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the incident as a "multi-page lunch menu" leak and called media coverage "hilarious."
- Security specialists say exposing detailed presidential movements and contact information contravenes standard operational security practices.
- No public confirmation has been issued of any formal investigation or disciplinary measures in response to the procedural breach.
