UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he is not embarrassed after exchanging messages with a person who was impersonating Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff. Burnham states that he “did everything right,” referring to how the communications were handled.
RTE and Bloomberg both report that Burnham confirmed the messages involved someone pretending to be Trump’s chief of staff. NBC News adds that the impersonation targeted Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, and that Burnham frames the incident as a matter of proper action on his part.
Across the outlets, the core points match: Burnham acknowledges the exchange, denies any embarrassment, and emphasizes that he believes he handled the situation correctly. The reporting focuses on the fact of the messages and Burnham’s response, rather than detailing further investigation outcomes or any consequences from the incident.
