House GOP Derails Attempt to Subpoena Trump’s Interpreter

Politico: “Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday defeated an attempt by panel Democrats to subpoena the interpreter who worked for President Donald Trump during his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin… Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) called for the vote to compel the interpreter to testify behind closed doors.”

“Chairman Devin Nunes initially declined to recognize Schiff’s motion before recessing the panel for about 20 minutes. When it reconvened, the committee voted along party lines, 11-6, to table Schiff’s attempt to bring the interpreter before the committee.”
