Who's talking about this:  Tomi Lahren

👋 Whoa! WTF is this?

Current Status is the consensus view of the current top U.S. political stories from a cross-section of the news media ecosystem.

There are three components that determine the Current Status: First, there is an editorially-responsible algorithm that considers the signals news editors send about a story's news value. Second, there's a human-in-the-loop curating the list and providing oversight to ensure that the Current Status is a fair and accurate representation of the day's essential political stories. And third, Current Status is biased toward recent, highly-cited stories, with an emphasis on depth and accuracy. The stars are a reflection of a story's current relative news value.

This is what the political web is talking about right now.

    Keeping a highly classified document that you shouldn’t have retained, then speaking about to and perhaps showing to others, then failing to return it while saying you’ve returned everything, then having it go missing…this all seems bad. Also criminal. https://t.co/TD0TABtKYW

    This sounds devastating for Trump and his claim he “declassified in his mind” the documents when he took them out of the Oval Office. We will have to say what exactly is on the tape but Nothing better than a defendant’s own words to rebut his defense. https://t.co/pkrErnOkGV

    The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the WH & suggests he'd like to share info but is aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records. At the heart of it is @sbg1's Milley story. https://t.co/RBSyJzO1GZ
