(23,576 posts)In a letter to the leaders of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Pascrell said the panel should hear testimony from translator Marina Gross, who was the only other American in the room with Trump and Putin.
"Given the public concessions President Trump made to Russian President Vladimir Putin by siding against the U.S. intelligence community, law enforcement, and our military officials about Russias attack on our democracy, Congress and the American public deserve to know the details of their private conversation," Pascrell wrote.

(27,820 posts)Aside from it being another blackmail tool in Putin's possession, it also means that Putin can attribute any statement whatsoever to Trump, and no one can disprove it. And given Trump's penchant for lying, it's not like anyone takes his word for anything anymore.
