Congressman Sires’ Statement Condemning President Trump’s Efforts to Cover Up his Meetings with Putin

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Congressman Sires, member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement regarding President Trump’s efforts to withhold details from his meetings with Vladimir Putin:

“Reports that President Trump went to great lengths to hide the contents of his conversations are deeply troubling. Unfortunately, this is just another example of the dangers the Trump Administration poses to our national security.  Vladimir Putin is no friend of the United States and these reckless actions from the President do nothing but embolden him. The American people deserve to know if President Trump is negotiating away America’s security behind closed doors. As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I pledge to work diligently with my colleagues to find out why the President insists on putting Russia’s interests above the American people’s.”
