That's completely different from asking two different countries to withhold information from multiple criminal investigations for political gain by a specific group of US politicians.
European countries don't even trust US politicians anymore with information about ongoing investigations, due to the blabbermouth president. Why would they even communicate this with them to begin with?

I'm not saying the dutch and the french did some kind of cooperation with the US here, I'm just saying I would not gasp of surprise if it turned out to be so.
