Schumer Demands Notes from Trump’s One-on-One Meeting with Putin

In the wake of the outrage over President Trump’s presser with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has demanded the release of any notes taken during the private meeting between the two leaders.

“Where are the notes from that meeting?” the New York Democrat asked on the Senate floor Tuesday. “What did the president agree to? Can we have the translator come in and testify? Was Secretary of State Pompeo briefed afterwards on what happened? Did he take notes? Were any other members of the president’s team? The notes need to be turned over to Congress immediately.”

“We need to know this because as frightening and damaging as the president’s comments were to the public in Helsinki, what he said behind closed doors is in all likelihood even worse,” he added.

Schumer’s demand came after a surreal 24 hours of damage control by a White House frantically attempting to control the fallout from Trump’s Monday morning refusal to accept the American intelligence community’s assessment that Russia tried to influence the 2016 presidential election.
