i'm brooke baldwin. we begin this hour with one major leak and three potentially major legal battles embroiling the president of the united states. a source says trump is furious that word got out that he either missed or simply disregarded all these warnings from his national security advisers that specifically said in all caps on this note card, do not congratulate vladimir putin on his re-election win. the president, in fact, did just that on his tuesday phone call with the russian president. a leak of such confidential detail indicates a move to embarrass president trump from the highest levels. as president trump tries to learn who leak this had, he is getting hit with three lawsuits. three. that may open up more private details in a very public way. all from women in his past. first this is senator marco rubio, asked about the president congratulating president putin, whose election is considered a sham. >> i don't like it. what i don't like less is that there's someone this close to him leaking it
