FLAKE GOES ROGUE: One GOP SENATOR Sides with Democrats on Trump Translator Testimony
Despite widespread opposition from nearly all GOP legislators, law experts, and White House officials, one GOP Senator is joining his Democratic colleagues in demanding to question the President’s translator regarding his personal meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Sen. Jeff Flake -one of the President’s fiercest critics- joined the liberal legislators and called for the interpreter to release her notes to Congressional investigators, saying “I would hope that those notes — all interpreters take notes — would be turned over… We need to know.”
All of Flake’s colleagues slammed the left-wing demand, saying it would irreparably damage a sitting President’s ability to hold private conversations with other world leaders.
"Absolutely not," Lindsey Graham said when asked if he'd support having Marina Gross, the American translator in Trump's meeting with Putin, testify before Congress.

“Absolutely not,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham when asked if he would support the subpoena. “That would be the last time you ever have a foreign leader meet the President of the United States privately.”
