Democrats Slam Trump After White House Briefing

“House Democrats came out of a closed-door White House briefing Tuesday taking swings at President Trump’s response to reports that Russia paid bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to target and kill U.S. troops,” CNBC reports.

Said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD): “The president called this a hoax publicly. Nothing in the briefing that we have just received led me to believe it is a hoax.”
