Asked about a report that North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un is in a serious condition after being treated after surgery, US President Donald Trump tells reporters: "I wish him well." SOUNDBITE
Business Insider reports that Mick Mulvaney, President Trump's former chief of staff, told CNBC on Thursday that he resigned. Mulvaney who was serving as special envoy to Northern Ireland, said "I can't do it. I can't stay." His decision comes after pro-Trump mobs staged an attack on the Capitol, which postponed the certification of Joe Biden's election victory. Mulvaney is the latest in a string of officials who have resigned since Wednesday's event. He suggested that more resignations will come. Mulvaney's decision to quit follows White House officials that include: Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, the First Lady's Chief of Staff Stephanie Grisham, and Deputy National Security Advisor Matthew Pottinger. He also said that some colleagues plan to stay "because they're worried the president might put someone worse in."
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un crosses the border into Russia for a first summit with Vladimir Putin, as Pyongyang seeks support in its nuclear deadlock with the United States. The talks, organised in secret and announced at the last minute, will be Kim's first face-to-face meeting with another head of state since negotiations with US President Donald Trump in Hanoi collapsed in February.
