Trump to set up 'war room' to repel attacks over Russia probe.
President Donald Trump’s White House is preparing to establish a 'war room' to combat mounting questions about ties between Russia and his presidential campaign, administration officials and persons close to Trump said, addressing a scandal that has threatened to consume his young presidency.
Upon Trump’s return from a nine-day overseas trip, the administration will add experienced political professionals and possibly lawyers to handle the Russia probe, which has gained new urgency since the Justice Department appointed a special counsel to head the investigation, the sources told Reuters.
Beyond pushing back at suggestions that Moscow is unduly influencing Trump’s administration, the messaging effort will also focus on advancing Trump’s stalled policy agenda and likely involve more trips out of Washington that will feature the kind of raucous rallies that were the hallmark of Trump’s campaign.
A person in regular touch with the White House said it needed a new structure to focus on the “new reality” that there would be continued leaks to the media from the federal law enforcement and intelligence communities, leaks that have increased in frequency since Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey this month.

That should go well.
Or is it an annex to the War on Facts mega-complex?
