Dems ready to issue subpoena for phone records linked to Trump Tower meeting
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are preparing to issue a subpoena as soon as Thursday to obtain phone records linked to the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer, two sources familiar with the matter tell The Hill.
The subpoena will be the first order Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) will issue as committee chairman, and the process of preparing the order came one day after the committee became formally constituted.
Details about the specifics of the subpoena remain unclear, but the order goes to the heart of the committee’s plan to investigate ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The Trump Tower meeting in particular has come under scrutiny after Donald Trump Jr., the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-White House campaign manager Paul Manafort met with a Kremlin-linked lawyer during the 2016 election in an effort to obtain dirt on the Clinton campaign.

However, if Cheeto listened in on meetings on the inter-office phone line (speakerphone) I don't think it would register as a separate call. And we know he did that a lot - he probably still does at the White House.
