Dem: Trump should release transcripts of Flynn's Russia calls

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/319266-dem-to-trump-release-transcripts-of-flynn-calls

Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) says President Trump should make public his national security adviser’s phone conversations with Russia’s ambassador.

“President Trump still has not commented on the behavior of one of his top aides,” Cicilline, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement Monday. "It is time for this administration to tell the truth.”

“Release the transcripts of Michael Flynn’s calls with the Russian ambassador," he continued.

Let the American people judge [Flynn’s] conduct for themselves. These allegations are incredibly serious and continued silence is not an acceptable option for this White House.”

Cicilline said Flynn’s reported talks with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about sanctions before Trump’s inauguration “directly undercut” former President Barack Obama.

“They sent a clear message that the Kremlin would not be held accountable for interfering in the 2016 election,” he said of Flynn and Kislyak’s alleged discussions.
