North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said Wednesday that the FBI may have secretly recorded former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.
In a post on Twitter, Meadows called on the Department of Justice to release any tapes that might exist to the American public.
“Over several interviews, we’ve learned information suggesting the FBI secretly transcribed, and even taped, George Papadopoulos in 2016,” wrote Meadows, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and a member of a congressional task force investigating the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe.
“If these ‘tapes’ do exist, the DOJ must make them available to Americans immediately,” the Republican added. “Their complete refusal to be transparent helps no one.”
