Just days before departing for his first trip overseas, President Trump is embroiled in another controversy. It's about reports that he shared highly classified information with two high-ranking Russians. At a press briefing this morning, National Security Advisor General H.R.

The Associated Press reports that one European country says it was anything but "routine." Josh Lederman covers foreign policy, national security and the State Department for the Associated Press.
