2016 ELECTION/HOUSE OF REPS/INTELLIGENCE/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A U.S. House of Representatives committee will vote on Friday [9-28-18] on whether to release dozens of transcripts of interviews from its investigation of Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, including conversations with senior associates of President Donald Trump. The House Intelligence Committee is expected to agree to send transcripts of the 53 interviews to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for review before they are made public, congressional aides said on Thursday. That would pave the way for the public to see thousands of pages of conversations with people including the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and son-in-law and close adviser Jared Kushner, as well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. Interviews with officials from former President Barack Obama’s administration, including former National Security Adviser Susan Rice and U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power are also among the transcripts.”
