TRussia Daily: While Trump Was Tweeting About 'Fake News'

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 28, 2017

Spencer Ackerman, The Daily Beast's senior national security correspondent, discusses the latest news from the Trump-Russia investigations, including how the President is consumed with investigation news instead of potential further military action in Syria. On Monday, the White House issued a warning that Syria "would pay a heavy price," if they launched a new chemical attack. And Ackerman reported that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave a similar warning to Russia through Bashar al-Assad's patron there. Meanwhile, Trump was tweeting about fake news in the wake of the CNN snafu.
