Why White House press secretaries still matter

When President Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey last month, he covertly switched planes because the government had received reports of an Iranian threat on Trump’s life.

And we discuss how the pro-Israel group AIPAC’s increased spending on elections may not be yielding the results the group was hoping for.
