The White House on Thursday rejected congressional Democrats’ demands for documents relating to President Donald Trump’s private discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin — escalating tensions between the Trump administration and Congress over a crucial piece of Democrats’ oversight ambitions.
obtained by POLITICO to the chairmen of three House committees seeking documents and witness interviews.
Cipollone also argued that Congress’ demand for information about a president’s private conversations with foreign leaders could jeopardize similar talks involving future American presidents.
The White House should give the democrats NOTHING!
What are they hiding?
I bet there are none.
Democracy dies in the dark.
Subpoena
POTUS does not want to make his act of treason public.
subpoena! 😤😤 subpoena the bastards!😤 if they keep stonewalling then find them in contempt send out the capitol police. You know these bastards are hiding info it's time to sock it to them. Make them show up for congressional hearings of they don't then lock them up! 😤
What is trump and Putin hiding
Non of their business. Good on Trump!
Resistance is Real... on both sides👍
OH, BUT WHAT'S TO HIDE?!? IT'S ALL ON THE UP AND UP ALRIGHT!!
How about Pelosi’s GC husband’s talks with the US Chairman of HUD or Obama’s talks with the Ayatollah or Hillary’s talks with Verizon Cable network? That would be cool.
I doubt there are any documents. No one knows what was said in that meeting.
Should President Trump have the “flexibility” Obama enjoyed in dealings with Putin and Russia? Indeed he should.
Dims are unserious buffoons.
Now what?
This is purely grandstanding and harassment. Let them send all the subpoenas they want to. They have no reason or right, legal or otherwise, to even ask for such things. I guess they have nothing else to do up there, eh?
The President should be free to subvert the United States whiteout oversight by anyone. The USA is the President’s personal currency to negotiate transactions that may endanger the well being of Americans but enrich the President and his family. Trump for Trump!
Dude takes an oath to do the people’s business, yet he doesn’t want us to know what he’s doing? somethingaintright
Treason TreasonousTrump
To be a fly in the wall when Trump said no...
What about the petition to remove Pelosi from office. 195,400 have signed the petition so far. 100,000 signatures are required for action.
Why haven't you demanded all the information and conversations HILLARY had with the Russians in order to obtain a fake Russian pd DOSSIER to use against her opponent or maybe the discussions with Putin regarding Uranium One 🤐
Gee I wonder why they want to keep those convos private...probably nothing
Something to hide
Lock em up! All of em!
Mean_Adam Subpoena time for all
Putin won't permit Trump to release those..
The Dems are out of their minds that Trump is president. I love it! -Trump 2020 Make Congress Work Again!
It's none of their business. Maybe Democrats should spend their time actually doing something positive and productive for their constituents
That’s why we the people gave y’all the house you have subpoena power now please use it.
Subpoena them.
Who's really surprised?
Never trust someone who won't or can't tell the truth. Trump lives in a world of fiction & uses profit to judge truth. If his statement is profitable, he will claim it as truth. He will not release information if he does not see a profit.

That’s a Class A authoritarian dictatorship move.
Gee, if he won’t even tell his own party, why should he share it with the House?
Don’t give them anything
I wonder why. 😆😆 I guess WH also wonders why.
That’s not good & not acceptable. TrumpRussiaCollusion
Of course they did. There aren’t any records. Subpoena the translator.
Because as we all know, trump has nothing to hide. Riiiiight.
Either Trump is way guilty or he really loves hide-and-go-seek.
Exhibiting such disrespect for the same Institutions which enable him to wield so much power. Arrogant.
Yes!!!!the democrat socialist dictatorship think they rule the country. I didn’t see them investigate Obama about his whisper to the the Russian.
They’ll have more flexibility after the next election
Why not just issue subpoenas first? Why give them the chance to say no at all?
Well, that certainly speaks for itself
Here it is: Putin- trump you are doing a great job disrupting your country continue to divide and promote hate. But continue to make the changes I need done. If you don’t I will expose everything on you . BITCH.Trump- okay I will do it,the GOP are good just continue to pay them
It should be more than clear to the House dems by now. The White House does not intend to provide anything to them voluntarily.
Trumps is getting arrested, one way or another.
All 81 people and organizations subpoenaed by congressional Witch hunts should absolutely refused to cooperate in anyway. Shut that garbage down. By the way get rid of Mueller and give me back my $35 million he wasted.
duh... I guess the dems needed an official rejection...
While I appreciate the right of secrecy based on national security this is not that...
Let's say it together boys & girls - OBSTRUCTIONIST ADMINISTRATION BillSpadea MattRooneyNJ realDonaldTrump POTUS WhiteHouse - Didn't the guy in charge just say the Mueller report would be made avaialbe? Why is THIS a problem?
Surprise surprise....
I'm loving the transparency. 🙄
This is getting fun now. Get the interpreter, she'll remember all the dirt discussed. Trump wishes he spoke Russian, wouldn't need such an intermediary.
Because it’s called executive privilege just like every other president
Why? Everyone is outraged by that 1 on 1 meeting. Never has happened. Part of what Trump is hiding. Come on America. This is so wrong. Make the meeting documents available now!
NEW VICTORY OF OUR FUND ABOVE PHARMACEUTICAL INTERNATIONAL MAFIA Director of the largest pharmaceutical holding of the Belarusian“Belfarprom holding”Valeriy Shevchuk arrested for corruption in the EUwill also be arrested and accomplices from Russia,Ukraine and the UnitedStates
DICKTATER
Democrats continue to pretend like executive privilege doesn’t exist. The American people see right through it!
All bc Hillary lost and evidence needed to be destroyed. The VAST Left Wing Conspiracy featuring The Private Email Gang starring Hillary 'Delete' Clinton and James 'Leak' Comey with a cameo performance by Barack 'No Crime' Obama! The crimes Hillary's 'Lost Emails' would expose!
Hypersonic hookups.
Subpoena time
If you're surprised or if you're shocked, you probably don't have a heartbeat.
shocker
How is anyone shocked, all it would say is 'ruin america and I give you trump tower in russia'
Perhaps wikileaks will release the transcripts...
