Top Senate Democrat asks for documents related to Trump's ties to Erdoğan
Source: The Hill
The top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee requested documents from the director of national intelligence on Monday detailing what he called President Trump's "close ties" to Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
In a letter to Robert O'Brien, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) called on the intelligence community to produce documents detailing "the nature and national security implications of President Trump's close ties with Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan."
Menendez added in his letter that the documents were necessary to examine examples of Trump's business with the Turkish president since taking office, including his refusal to enforce congressionally mandated sanctions on Turkey as well as his decision to pull U.S. forces out of an area of Northern Syria that has since been occupied by Turkish-backed forces.
"In each of these examples, President Trump's positions or silence appears to have been swayed by his relationship with President Erdoğan, or his own personal interests in Turkey, rather focused on promoting U.S. national security interests," Menendez said.

Probably worth looking into. Expect the usual cooperation from Trump which is none.
