President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Russia's ambassador to the United States discussed establishing a secret back-channel in order to avoid having their communications detected by US authorities, according to a report on Friday.
President Donald Trump's message Friday to mark the Muslim holy month of Ramadan was "inappropriate" because of his references to terrorism, Rep. Ted Lieu said Friday.
"The message was inappropriate," the California Democrat told Wolf Blitzer on CNN. "When you devote an entire paragraph to terrorist attacks, you are imputing to the 99.9 percent of Muslims who are peaceful that they are somehow linked to these terrorist attacks.
"You just don't do that in a holiday message."
