The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday moved to subpoena the interpreter present at President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent private meeting.
“It is our motion that the interpreter be subpoenaed to come and testify in closed session before our committee,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Cali.) said during a public hearing on China’s threats to American government.
The California Democrat argued that the interpreter could have witnessed a key exchange which would shed light on U.S. national security matters.
“I regret that we have to request this in today’s meeting. We requested a business meeting next week, but that request has been declined. This may be our last opportunity before we go into an extended recess to vote to subpoena the interpreter and find out if there are any other national security problems that arose from this meeting,” Schiff continued.
