Senators from both sides of the aisle are calling on President Trump to testify under oath about the Russia investigation and alleged recordings of his conversations with then-FBI Director James Comey.
The senators’ request comes after Trump said he was “100%” willing to answer questions about alleged ties to Russia and the recordings that Trump alluded to in a tweet.
“I think we could work out a way it could be dignified, public, with questions, with Leader McConnell,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told CBS.
Before Trump testifies, however, Schumer said he first would have to consult with special counsel Robert Mueller.
Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and Republican Senator Susan Collins backed up Schumer’s calls for the president to testify.
When asked about the recordings last week, Trump responded that h would provide an answer “within a fairly short period of time.”
