WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is still promoting a debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, a day after a former White House security adviser called it a “fictional narrative.” Trump called in to “Fox & Friends” on Friday and said he was trying to root out corruption in Ukraine when he was withholding aid over the summer. On Thursday, a former White House Russia analyst said the debunked theory that Ukraine was behind election interference played into Russia’s hands.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is withholding more than $100 million in U.S. military assistance to Lebanon that has been approved by Congress and is favored by his national security team.

State Department and Pentagon officials and lawmakers have been complaining about it for weeks, according to officials.
