there's calls from capitol hill not just to have secretary pompeo come to the hill but the translatenerdepartment, this is extremely problematic from a u.s. foreign policy perspective. you're getting divergent stories out of the white house that don't converge with what is happening in the press conference. sarah sanders did walk through some elements of what happened in helsinki, but it's not clear that she has an insight to exactly what happened in that meeting. you're absolutely right. if the president did broach that topic with putin, what else did he promise or guarantee? how was it said? the whole helsinki summit was an example of how not to conduct diplomacy with an adversary. i'm all for engaging with adversaries. just not in that fact. >> shepard: sure. past presidents have spoken with putin. when you have a meeting like that, there's a secretary of state, a note taker. president trump could have had that if that's what he wanted. he didn't want that. obviously russians didn't want it. would it be normal for the russians to have a recording of that conversation? >> it's possibl
