White House officials are trying to defend U.S. President Donald Trump's use of social media, and especially twitter, at a time when the White House staff has struggled to issue formal statements.

National Security assistant Sebastian Gorka (who is controversial unto himself) told CNN that the president's tweets are not official policy.
