House Dems demand records from Trump’s communications with Putin

Three Democratic chairmen in the House are pressing for records and interviews related to President Trump‘s communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin, following reports that he sought to destroy records detailing such contacts.

Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the chairmen of the House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight and Reform committees, respectively, wrote separate letters to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Secretary of State Michael Pompeo asking that they turn over personnel records detailing the president’s contacts with Putin.

The three chairmen also want access to the interpreters who sat in on Trump’s meetings with Putin.
