Before covering U.S. government and intelligence agencies for CNN, Sciutto spent more than two decades as a foreign correspondent in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. His work has earned him numerous accolades, including the George Polk Award, the Edward R. Murrow award and the Merriman Smith Memorial Award for excellence in presidential coverage. He is the author of The Madman Theory: Trump Takes on the World, an in-depth analysis of the impact U.S. President Donald Trump’s erratic foreign policy has had both at home and around the world.
And now, for today's headlines.
