President Trump, at the White House on March 30. White House press secretary Sean Spicer defended the actions of three senior White House aides who, according to media reports, helped facilitate the visit of the committee’s chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), to the White House grounds last week to view classified intelligence documents. In many ways, the first weeks of the Trump White House have resembled a chaotic tech start-up. Three White House officials insisted that Dearborn’s job was safe, and Cliff Sims, a Trump communications aide, lashed out at reporters on Twitter. But it was the Russia probe that continued to dominate the conversation in Washington, forcing the White House into a reactive posture for another day.
