Sarah Sanders' absolutely unreal explanation of Trump's anti-Muslim video tweets

Sarah Sanders' absolutely unreal explanation of Trump's anti-Muslim video tweets Washington (CNN) On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump retweeted three videos purportedly showing Muslims committing acts of violence against Christians . He did so despite the fact that the videos came from a far-right, anti-Muslim group in Britain and remain unverified. Which is all beside the point, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. "Whether it is a real video, the threat is real," Sanders told reporters Wednesday morning . "That is what the President is talking about, that is what the President is focused on is dealing with those real threats, and those are real no matter how you look at it."

State Dept. warned White House about possible increased threats after anti-Muslim tweets

State Dept. warned White House about possible increased threats after anti-Muslim tweets STORY HIGHLIGHTS The tweets appeared to depict Muslims engaged in different acts of violence "It didn't manifest in anything actionable, but it was a big concern," one State Department official said Washington (CNN) After President Donald Trump retweeted anti-Muslims videos on Wednesday , multiple State Department officials said the department communicated to the White House that there was concern that protests could happen at US embassies.

Protests erupted in September 2012 following the publication of an anti-Muslim video on the internet. Embassies were on alert throughout the day, although no incidents have been reported thus far...

Russia investigation zeroes in on Trump inner circle

Russia investigation zeroes in on Trump inner circle STORY HIGHLIGHTS Mueller charged Flynn with one count of lying to the FBI It raises questions about how high up Mueller's investigation will reach Washington (CNN) Michael Flynn's downfall Friday exacerbated grave legal and political risks that represent the most serious threat to any administration for at least 40 years, and could eventually imperil the Trump presidency itself. The plea deal cut by the fired national security adviser with Special Counsel Robert Mueller undermines much of what the White House has said about the Russia controversy engulfing the presidency. It means there is now no credible way for President Donald Trump to claim the Russia investigation is a hoax, made up, fake news or a witch hunt. It raises questions about who higher up the chain of command in Trump's orbit -- possibly even including the President himself -- is in Mueller's sights after he agreed to...
