“I want to just call on the White House right now, release whatever you have. If they don’t have it, so be it,” Durbin told reporters.

Durbin also said that he stands “behind every word that I said in terms of that meeting.”

Trump, who has been criticized by both parties for the alleged remarks, attacked Durbin on Twitter Monday, saying that “Dicky Durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the DACA meeting.”

Trump also suggested that he “probably should record future meetings” in a tweet last week denying that he made the comments.
