President Donald Trump once hailed himself as the"most transparent president ever." This week, however, we learned that Trump's team took unprecedented steps to hide readouts of his conversations with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian President Vladimir Putin and members of the Saudi royal family.
Samantha VinogradThe impact of this revelation on US national security has already been devastating.
