Raja Calls Upon White House Counsel to Turn Trump White House Tapes Over to House Oversight Committee

May 12, 2017
Press Release

SCHAUMBURG, IL Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, a member of the House Oversight Committee, released the following statement in response to President Trump's tweeting earlier this morning James Comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!:

Earlier this morning, President Trump wrote a tweet referencing his taping of high-level conversations in the White House. In light of this revelation, I would respectfully request that the White House Counsel provide the House Oversight Committee with all tapes of the Presidents communications with former FBI Director James Comey, of President Trumps meeting with Russian officials which was closed to American press but not their Russian counterparts, and of any conversations regarding the hiring or firing of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. These White House tapes could accelerate current investigations as previous tapes have aided past inquiries."

1. One correction

Members of the minority party can't speak for congress...So it can't be "Congress just asked". "Congress" only acts as an expression of the will of the majority.
