House Dems Mull Subpoenaing Notes, Interpreter From Trump-Putin Meeting

House Democrats are considering actions they could take to learn what was discussed during President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s private meeting in Helsinki last year, Axios reported.


According to a Democratic member of Congress who reportedly spoke to D.C. reporters on Tuesday, House Democrats are considering “subpoenaing the notes or subpoenaing the interpreter or other steps.”

The White House never revealed what the two world leaders discussed during their two-hour, staff-free — except for interpreters — closed door meeting during a summit in Helsinki last summer.

Hey Burr, did you by some "chance" think about doing this in a open setting for the public ..............................before you sent out your report..............................nope, because you make the call, don't you....................not Warner, but you, all by your lonesome you could have done this when your "guy" had a meeting in Helsinki all by himself with a known murder record from a foreign state actor..............

That is, of the members of the committee. Which (to answer the other replies) won't prevent the subpoena happening, but merely document what side the Republican committee members are on.

Amazing...there should be no question about it, IT HAS TO BE DONE! What did the orange buffoon give to Putin that doesn't belong to him? It is a question of security, what will the orange buffoon do for his master in whatever time remains for him in the WH?

It drives me nuts that they have to "consider" something like this...

Where's the headline coming from any of them? Only see USA Today and only a blurb from a month ago.

I'm getting tired of how treason against the United States is taken as something so casual, yet if Fox News has a talking point about Trey Gowdy investigating Hillary Clinton for which flavor of coffee she prefers for breakfast, that's a 24/7 scandal on all of the networks!
