Powerful chairmen of oversight committees in the House of Representatives are preparing to force Donald Trump to disclose his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin according to a new report from POLITICO.

POLITICO reported this morning that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) and House Foreign Affairs Committee Eliot Engel (D-NY) have been consulting with Douglas Letter, the House’s general counsel, on the most effective legal maneuvers to get the president to turn over the information.

......

“I had a meeting with the general counsel to discuss this and determine the best way to find out what took place in those private meetings — whether it’s by seeking the interpreter’s testimony, the interpreter’s notes, or other means,” Schiff told POLITICO.

It is understood that when committee chairmen meet with the House’s general counsel it is usually a precursor to issues “that could end up playing out in court.”

2. I wonder how his base will justify Trumps talks with Putin

At this point they are so locked in step with him they’ll somehow justify anything he does. The trouble is all this stuff has slowly unraveled and once they buy one thing it’s a small step to accept the next. The press has really only just begun to label Trump as a liar. They couched it in less severe terms for a long time.
