"Days ago, the world watched in horror as men, women, and children laid lifeless in the streets of Khan Sheikhun, victims of an unthinkable chemical attack from their own government. In response, President Donald Trump showed decisive leadership by rightfully confronting these atrocities in Syria through a strategic military strike, targeting the airbase where the most recent chemical attack was launched from.

Washington, D.C. – This week, stories have circulated about alleged actions taken by Susan Rice, President Obama's National Security Advisor, to unmask Donald Trump's name in U.S. intelligence reports.
