AP President Trump and his top advisers are reportedly considering creating a White House "war room" and a staff shake-up to combat current and future revelations related to the Russia controversy, The Washington Post reported on Saturday. The primary goal of the "war room" will be to more aggressively fire back at fallout in the wake of Trump's abrupt firing of FBI director James Comey on May 9. Following Comey's firing, the White House was besieged by a slew of negative news stories that raised further questions about the president's and his associates' ties to Russia.
