House Democrats demand Trump’s Comey tapes

Published May 12, 2017 6:48pm ET



House Democrats want the White House to hand over any tapes that President Trump may have of his private conversations with fired FBI Director James Comey.

“Under normal circumstances, we would not consider credible any claims that the White House may have taped conversations of meetings with the President,” Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., wrote in a letter to White House Counsel Don McGahn. “However, because of the many false statements made by White House officials this week, we are compelled to ask whether any such recordings do in fact exist. If so, we request copies of all recordings in possession of the White House regarding this matter.”
