Another crisis hits the White House after intelligence story
WASHINGTON — Closed-door emergency meetings. Hallways packed with reporters. Statements rushed out, but few questions answered.
It’s become a familiar scenario in the crisis-prone Trump White House, where big news breaks fast and the aides paid to respond seem perpetually caught off-guard.
The Washington Post report Monday led to the latest feeding frenzy. The news that Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian officials in a meeting last week prompted another round of bizarre scenes, just days after Trump’s decision to fire FBI director James Comey sent his communications team into a tizzy.
They included a surprise encounter between reporters and Trump’s top national security adviser and an attempt to drown out conversations with a blaring television.
