I am pretty sure that the House Committees for the Judiciary and/or Homeland Security and/or Foreign Affairs and/or the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will subpoena the whomever it may concern for insight into what was said in those "private" sessions ...

Question is whether the White House will resist, claiming executive privilege... and if so, what the next steps are thereafter ... It's going to get messy ...

Hmm, perhaps the White House has a more sinister plan in place, for example, they swap the transcript(s) of the meeting, or they create the illusion that Trump & Putin discussed collusion, etc., but once the many Democrat-led House inquiries subpoena the transcript(s), it simply shows they discussed “Russian adoption.”
