WASHINGTON — Six in 10 Americans say President Donald Trump has been untruthful about the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, while half of the country says the investigation has given them doubts about Trump's presidency, according to a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.The survey, conducted a month after the results of November's midterm elections, also finds more Americans wanting congressional Democrats — rather than Trump or congressional Republicans — to take the lead role in setting policy for the country.And just 10 percent of respondents say that the president has gotten the message for a change in direction from the midterms — when the GOP lost control of the U.S. House of Representatives but kept its majority in the U.S. Senate — and that he's making the necessary adjustments."The dam has not burst on Donald Trump," said Democratic pollster Peter Hart, whose firm conducted this survey with … [Read more...] about Poll: Most Americans say Trump is lying in Russia probe

Looming over Trump’s weekend in Paris, where dozens of heads of state will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and call for more international engagement, is the prospect of an impromptu pull-aside discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Lee, Kristen Welker and Kelly O'Donnell PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a rebuke of President Donald Trump’s “America first” approach to international affairs at a ceremony on Sunday commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. “Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” Macron said. “By saying ‘our interests first, who cares about the others,’ we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what gives it grace and what is essential: its moral values." Macron’s remarks, which he delivered just steps from Trump and a tableau of more than 80 world leaders, come on the heels of the U.S. president proudly declaring himself a “nationalist.” “A globalist is a person that wants the … [Read more...] about Macron warns against nationalism in apparent rebuke of Trump at WWI commemoration
