John Oliver dedicated his first Last Week Tonight of 2017 to President Donald Trump, asking viewers four questions: “How did we get a pathological liar in the White House? As Oliver explained, Trump “has a well-documented, 40-year history of bullsh–. According to the host, while many brushed off Trump’s campaign rhetoric as “nonsense” and “Donald being Donald,” the president was saying things he meant throughout the election cycle — including that he will build a wall along the U.S. and Mexico border.
One of the leading White House figures behind Donald Trump's travel ban has defended the controversial policy, saying the administration will pursue several options to reinstate the executive order. Trump's senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller, said there had been a "judicial usurpation of power" after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against reinstating the measure, which temporarily suspends entry to the US for people from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Miller said the President will do whatever is "consistent with the law, to keep this country safe".
Frustrated intelligence officials in the US are reportedly "holding back" highly classified information from President Donald Trump amid unprecedented fears the White House itself has been compromised by Russian operatives, a former NSA analyst has claimed. John Schindler, a former counterintelligence expert for the secretive US intelligence agency, said some spooks are in a state of revolt over Trump's apparent lack of support. Links between Trump and Moscow have loomed over the president since his controversial election campaign last year, with the Intelligence Community (IC) largely in agreement that Russian hackers targeted the Democratic Party to help him get into office.
