Apparently, the administration of President Donald Trump left some government papers from the Trump-Putin summit in an Alaska hotel. 

Leftist outlets, such as NPR, are now trying to capitalize on this, while the Trump administration is brushing it off as a non-story.

We'll start with NPR's report.

Pages of notes, phone numbers, schedules+protocols for #AlaskaSummit were found today in a printer at Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage. Yes Captain Cook. Some US staffers stayed there. More Incredible incompetence. I love that it was NPR who broke the storyhttps://t.co/EtHMIGN8mm pic.twitter.com/LkM3hnV4Y2

A security breach?

This is how the mainstream media is trying to sell the situation.

NPR reports:

Papers with U.S. State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the Aug. 15 meetings between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.

The outlet claims that there were eight pages of documents that were "accidentally" left behind. The papers are said to show the "precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of U.S. government employees."

For example, NPR reports:

The first page in the printed packet disclosed the sequence of meetings for August 15, including the specific names of the rooms inside the base in Anchorage where they would take place. It also revealed that Trump intended to give Putin a ceremonial present.

The White House has since responded to this report.

"Hilarious"

The White House responded with a statement from White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly.

"It’s hilarious that NPR is publishing a multi-page lunch menu and calling it a ‘security breach," the statement reads.

It continues, "This type of self-proclaimed ‘investigative journalism’ is why no one takes them seriously and they are no longer taxpayer-funded thanks to President Trump."

Indeed, CNN reports:

The Senate and the House have passed a rare measure called a “rescission,” which would claw back money that was already budgeted by Congress, including nearly $1.1 billion in funding for public media. President Trump, who proposed the spending cut, is expected to sign the measure into law.

The funding was removed, of course, because NPR has a clear left-wing bias and because Trump and lawmakers decided that taxpayers probably ought not to be funding left-wing propaganda. As the Trump White House put it, "NPR and PBS have fueled partisanship and left-wing propaganda with taxpayer dollars, which is highly inappropriate and an improper use of taxpayers’ money, as President Trump has stated."
