Possible explanation for missing question and answer from the transcript.
Quote:
The Washington Post explained Wednesday that the error was due to a technical issue and not because of intentionally deceptive editing by the White House.
"President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?" Reuters reporter Jeff Mason asked.
"Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal," Putin answered in Russian.
But in the White House transcript, the question is cut off to read "And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?"

The Washington Post is not a Trump friendly news source.

“What happened?” The Post’s Philip Bump asked. “If you watch the videos, it’s pretty clear. At some point in the middle of that question, there’s a switch between the feed from the reporters and the feed from the translator. In the White House version of the video, you can hear the question being asked very faintly under the woman who is translating saying ‘president.’”
“You can hear the same audio in The Post’s feed, starting at about a minute in,” he added. “We did not edit the question out. This is the feed we were provided.”
