Sensitive details of Donald Trump’s private meeting with Vladimir Putin — including schedules, contact lists, and menus — were accidentally left in an Alaskan hotel printer after the summit of the two leaders in Alaska.

The White House brushed off the leak as “just lunch menus,” a response that underscored its habitual carelessness and amateur approach to national security and diplomacy.
