President Trump had a very busy Tuesday morning — on Twitter, that is.
All before his 11:15 a.m. ET intelligence briefing, Trump praised Fox & Friends, attacked former President Barack Obama for being soft on Russia, and fought back against an allegation of sexual misconduct. The latter is because on Monday, The Washington Post published a profile on Rachel Crooks, a woman who alleges that Trump kissed her against her wishes 12 years ago when she worked in Trump Tower.
