What we can confirm

Multiple reputable reports specifically describe the Trump administration formally seeking additional information from Russia and struggling to obtain clear answers about the suspected pneumonic-plague incident involving a Russian laboratory worker. Russian authorities later provided some information and said there was no epidemic risk, but that subsequent response does not negate the reported earlier difficulty obtaining answers.
