GOP rejects effort to force release of documents about private Trump-Putin meeting

[dherd]

Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee rallied behind a resolution that would have directed the executive branch to send to Congress "copies of all documents, records, communications, transcripts, summaries, notes, memoranda, and read-aheads" related to Trump's July summit with Putin in Helsinki.

"Here we are 60 days after the Helsinki summit and we still don't know what President Trump said or committed to," Boyle said.

The vote took place Thursday afternoon, shortly before lawmakers left Washington for a weeklong break.

If this happens every President's transcripts should be released as well.

If this happens, the transcripts of every President who ever met with Russia, secretly with no other members of the Executive Office present, should be released as well.

FIFY

Why, to the best of my recollection, have members of congress never called for the release of private notes from a meeting between the President and a foreign leader before now?

Because the Mueller investigation has been reduced to looking for unpaid parking tickets???!
