Trump kicks out Russians, but media focus on other controversies
close Video Kurtz: Press still sees Stormy weather for president 'MediaBuzz' host Howard Kurtz weighs in on the media focusing on the Stormy Daniels scandal and ignoring President Trump's recent achievements, like expelling Russian diplomats from the United States. On Monday, the president accused of coddling Vladimir Putin expelled 60 Russian diplomats, the largest number in American history, and that includes the Cold War.

Andy Surabian, a former special assistant to President Donald Trump in the White House, argues that Trump should ignore the noise and keep Pruitt in his Cabinet. That's because Pruitt has been a huge supporter and enactor of Trump's agenda. now second-guessing the salaries of individual low-level aides, questioning whether the director of scheduling and advance really deserved a recent raise.
