Trump refuses to publish White House statement on McCain
US President Donald Trump has refused to publish a letter drafted by White House staff on the death of Senator John McCain. He also refused to sign a proclamation which would order the American flag to remain at half-mast until the funeral. Mr Trump has remained silent on the passing of the man he often clashed with, other than to issue a two-line tweet. Our correspondent Simon Marks speaks to Susie Ferguson.
