  • The documents originated from U.S. staff and revealed meeting times, precise room names, phone numbers of officials, and a planned American bald eagle desk statue gift for Putin.
  • Pages described the summit's planned lunch in honor of Putin, featuring a three-course meal with salad, a choice between filet mignon or halibut olympia, and crème brûlée dessert, though lunch was cancelled.
  • Law professor Jon Michaels condemned the discovery of the documents in the hotel printer as a clear indication of careless handling and poor preparation for an important meeting.
