If we want to know what trump said to the Russians, can't we listen to the tape?

If he's taping the Oval Office, which he is, why not subpoena the tape?

I'm unsure if the Russian press was there for the duration, or if there was a private portion of the meeting.

Russia is known for taping everything so surely Sergeis Lavarov and Kislyak were wired.

If Trump is so concerned about being "wiretapped"....
