Top Democrats demand any "tapes," communications between Trump and Comey


"Under normal circumstances, we would not consider credible any claims that the White House may have taped conversations of meetings with the President," they wrote. "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."

Conyers is the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and Cummings serves as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

They said that they are also requesting "all documents, memoranda, analyses, emails, and other communications relating to the President's decision to dismiss Director Comey" and asked that McGahn respond to them by May 25.

Referring to Mr. Trump's threat to release "tapes," the two lawmakers said that it's a "crime to intimidate or threaten any potential witness with the intent to influence, delay, or prevent their official testimony." They said the president's actions Friday morning and his comments in an interview with NBC News a day earlier "raise the specter of possible intimidation and obstruction of justice."
