Three House Democratic committee chairmen promised action in response to two bombshell weekend reports about President Donald Trump and Russia.
On Saturday, The Washington Post reported that Trump went to great lengths to hide readouts of multiple exchanges with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including the one-on-one
meeting the leaders held in Helsinki, Finland, last year.
"Every time Trump meets with Putin, the country is told nothing," House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., tweeted Saturday evening. "America deserves the truth
and the Foreign Affairs Committee will seek to get to the bottom of it."
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who last year sought to subpoena the interpreter from Trump's meeting with Putin in Finland, signaled on Sunday that he will
renew his efforts to gain information from that interpreter — the only other U.S. person in the room for that meeting.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said in a Saturday statement that his committee would be digging into the items discussed in a Friday New York Times report that
said the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Trump after he fired former FBI Director James Comey.
