House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday floated the possibility of renewing his demand to subpoena the translator present during a July 2018 meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Last year, we sought to obtain the interpreter’s notes or testimony, from the private meeting between Trump and Putin," Schiff tweeted. "The Republicans on our committee voted us down. Will they join us now?"

ADVERTISEMENT "Shouldn’t we find out whether our president is really putting 'America first?'" Schiff wrote, a nod to one of Trump's campaign slogans.

Schiff's call comes as a bombshell Washington Post report reverberates throughout Washington, reigniting questions about Trump's alleged ties with the Kremlin.

The Post over the weekend reported that Trump has tried to conceal conversations he had with Putin on multiple occasions, at one point confiscating notes from his interpreter. Trump has called the report "ridiculous" while White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called it "outrageously inaccurate."

ABC News on Sunday reported that House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committee lawyers are planning to meet on Monday to discuss subpoenaing Trump's interpreters at meetings with Putin where there were no aides present.

First we want to see the private notes of all past presidents, Schiffhead.
Then we can talk about the current one. Deal?

I thought Schiff was the “wife”. My bad.

However, if he pulls this crap, Trump can GET all the records of Obama’s meetings with Communist leaders, Arab leaders, Black dictators in Africa, etc, and release them.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
