Trump’s June 22 Twitter statement “stops short of clarifying” whether the White House has any tapes or documents.
The bi-partisan statement:
House committee threatens to subpoena White House over existence of Trump-Comey tapes
When news of Comey’s account broke, Trump tweeted that Comey “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
A letter Thursday from Republican Rep. Mike Conaway of Texas, who is leading the Russia probe, and Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California says Trump’s June 22 Twitter statement “stops short of clarifying” whether the White House has any tapes or documents.
Conaway and Schiff said in a statement that the letter makes clear that should the White House not respond fully, “the committee will consider using compulsory process to ensure a satisfactory response.”
