Tracie, whats the latest on the report yesterday that the 43 revealed clarified information. We know that the New York Times reported it that it came from israeli sources. The concern among our allies around the world is that if the president cant keep a secret, risk.

And australia still as strong as ever. But in britain where theresa may deflected questions, there is, some Officials Say, some nervousness about all of this. And quite frankly, germany, theyre said to be angie that the president released this information to russia. Thank you. Two of the nations top Security Officials will be overseas to brief on the threat of isis. Homeland and representatives meeting with their european counterparts in brussels.

Police say they never gave his laptop to the fbi after his murder. And a Law Enforcement source tells nbc news that richs emails related to wikileaks. I think its bad enough that as a city, we lost a citizen like seth rich. The fact that this is irresponsibly connected to a broader fictional conspiracy adds to that pain.
