News: A Trump-appointed judge ruled Wednesday that @SecPompeo must prove he complied with the Federal Records Act by collecting and preserving interpreter notes from Trump's meetings with Putin. kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
@SecPompeo The chief counsel for the plaintiff said the ruling puts a choice before Pompeo and the @StateDept: "Show that they don’t have an obligation to preserve the record, or that they preserved it appropriately." kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
@SecPompeo @StateDept Trump reportedly collected all meeting notes with Putin and barred interpreters from discussing their contents. Pompeo has until January 10 to file a response to the lawsuit and until March 13 to file a substantial brief to the court. kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
@SecPompeo @StateDept “Obviously we think what happened in these meetings with Putin is an important fact – it’s historically important. We think it would be quite troubling if all the records that showed what actually happened were destroyed.” kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump-appointed judge, rejected the government’s efforts to dismiss the case on Wednesday. kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
