YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On Tuesday morning, President Trump tried to divert attention from the resignation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn by saying the "real story" was "illegal leaks," and asked whether there would also be leaks as he deals with North Korea’s recent ballistic missile test. But Trump’s handling of potentially classified information about the launch already appears to have been compromisedby his own actions. On Saturday, as the news of the test broke, Trump and other White House officials were dining in the restaurant at the Trumpowned MaraLago resort in Florida, where Trump was hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for the weekend. As Trump and top officials moved to coordinate the United States’ response, other MaraLago diners gawked at the scene. Some even posted pictures of it on Facebook. For more, we’re joined by California Democratic Congressmember Ted Lieu.
