Interpreters usually fly below the radar. But now, there’s a lot of attention on Marina Gross, who was the American interpreter for President Trump in his one-on-one meeting with Vladimir Putin. Aside from the Russian interpreter, reportedly no one else was in the room. A lot of people would like to know what the two leaders said in the meeting. Democrats in Congress have tried to subpoena Marina Gross to testify before the House Intelligence Committee. Republicans have blocked that effort.
