TRUMP EXPELS 60 RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS; CLOSES CONSULATE

TRUMP EXPELS 60 RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS; CLOSES CONSULATE 
The Trump administration is expelling 48 envoys and 12 other Russian diplomats as well as closing the Consulate in Seattle, joining allies in condemnation of Russia's attack on the UK. Rich Edson has more from the State Department.
The ousting comes over a nerve agent attack earlier this month in Britain. It includes 12 Russian intel officers from Russia’s mission to the UN in New York. It reflects concerns that Russian intel activities have been increasingly aggressive.
