Good morning. These are today’s top stories:

President Donald Trump tweeted this morning that he has the “absolute right” to share information with Russia when it pertains to terrorism after the Washington Post reported yesterday that he had revealed highly classified information to Russian officials during a meeting at the White House last week. That information reportedly included intelligence on ISIS. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster had said no intelligence sources or methods were discussed at the meeting, adding that “the President did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known,” according to the Associated Press.

Global cyberattack has similarities to North Korean hacks
