U.S. lawmakers ask Trump to turn over any Comey tapes
By Ayesha Rascoe Reuters May 14, 2017

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers on Sunday called on President Donald Trump to turn over any tapes of conversations with fired FBI chief James Comey, potentially setting up a showdown with the White House as Democrats considered a boycott of the vote on Comey's replacement.

In a highly unusual move, Trump last week appeared to suggest on Twitter that he might have tapes of conversations with Comey and warned the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation against talking to the media. Trump and a White House spokesman declined to confirm or deny whether such tapes exist.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said the White House must "clear the air" about whether there are any taped conversations.

I guess the Democrats hope there are no tapes. LOL

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:54AM

If their is no TAPES then TRUMP LIED AGAIN!!! The word "Autocrat" comes to mind.

Let my save you the search on the word "AUTOCRAT." a ruler who has absolute power. Someone who insists on complete obedience from others; an imperious or domineering person. A leader that is asking for obedience, allegiance, dictator � despot � tyrant - oppressor - Authoritarian - autarchy comes to mind, that is not America.

Trump didn't say he had tapes. Tapes are evil and the Democrats are salivating. That is not America.

Getting to the truth is.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 12:25PM

I have faith the FBI and Department of Justice will get us there. Congress is a joke.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 12:55PM

We already saw what happen to the republican controlled house investigation did. What Loyalty to THE President instead of the law. No one is above the LAW!!! you want to bet.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 1:14PM

Adam Schiff is a huge joke.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 1:16PM

Same with Warner on the Senate side.

This blog is not about calling people out of their names Steven, if you can't talk about the material then you need to shut-up sit down and GTF out of the way.

Now do you have any thing to say of value on the topic material?

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 3:34PM

U.S. "lawmakers" can ask but they won't receive.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 4:08PM

If you are talking about the tapes on Trump and Comey's meeting, Trump may not turn those tapes over, which will farther help Trump to build a case against him.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 7:52PM

There're no tapes Ron. President Trump is indicting Comey for the leaks, especially about General Flynn.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:18PM

So you are saying TRUMP LIED AGAIN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:23PM

I'm saying he tweaked you all.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:24PM

AGAIN

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 8:49PM

What do this mean: "I'm saying he tweaked you all, AGAIN?

He tweaked a LIE AGAIN, is that what you are saying?

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:35PM

How many ways are there to say it. There are no tapes. It was an indictment of Comey's leaks to the Washington Post.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:45PM

Their is only one way to tell a LIE Steven, now according to Today's Breaking News, you know why Comey was Fired.

The true is coming to light and there is more to come.

Steve Williams Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:48PM

I've known why Comey was fired since the day it happened.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, May 15th 2017 at 10:55PM

Then you knew about this LIE of Trump's for quite sometime now, I see.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 1:12PM

Show me what part of Rosenstein's memo was a lie.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 16th 2017 at 1:32PM

Rosenstein's memo is not apart of this report. SORRY!
