Schumer: Trump's reported Russian meddling remarks among 'most disturbing things' yet

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) hammered President Trump on Saturday over a report that the president told Russian officials months after entering office that he was unconcerned over Moscow’s efforts to meddle in the 2016 election.

“If true, the reports that President Trump may have told close associates of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin that he didn’t mind Russian interference in the US elections are extremely harmful to both our national security and the integrity of our elections. It’s one of the most disturbing things we’ve learned yet,” Schumer said in a statement.

Three former officials with knowledge of the matter told the Post that Trump’s comments sparked such alarm among White House staffers that officials restricted access to notes of the remarks to a small group of people with the highest security clearances in hopes of preventing the conversation from being leaked. - TheHill

So, that is why I believe it will come out.

Whether they were saved in the first place....that is a different story.

But I think Trump is a criminal who likes to keep trophies and memories from his crimes...
