* He also told Putin with a smile: 'Don't meddle in the election'
* Trump made the observation as camera shutters were clicking
* Putin said the problem is 'the same' in Russia
* Putin is known for jailing journalists who criticize the government
* Earlier, the president described his 'very good relationship' with Moscow leader during their meeting Friday
* It was their first meet since the Mueller report, which states Putin directed an election interference campaign

The comments came as a horde of reporters tried to capture the historic meeting on film and video.
