Schumer: "Play the tapes for all of America to hear or admit that there were no tapes."
Link to tweet
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Thursday that if President Trump disagrees with former FBI Director James Comey, he should publicly release any tapes of their conversations.
"It's awfully curious that no one from the president's team will either confirm or deny the existence of the tapes when the tapes are the only way to prove that Mr. Comey's testimony, which came under oath, are false or misleading," Schumer said.
He added in a direct shot at Trump that if the president disagrees "with anything the director said today, play the tapes for all of America to hear or admit that there were no tapes."
The White House has refused to confirm whether or not Trump recorded his meetings with Comey after the president hinted last month that there might be "tapes" of their conversations.
